## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by TRP Trading Company Limited, a public undertaking based in London, sought to award a concession contract for catering and venue services at Pembroke Lodge. Despite the initial plan, this tender, titled "Light Touch Concession Contract for the Provision of Catering and Venue Services at Pembroke Lodge," was cancelled in February 2026. The procurement involved a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, designed to be executed in two stages. Set within the historic setting of a Grade II listed Georgian property in Richmond Park, the tender targeted suppliers with experience in hospitality services, including café operations and events like weddings and corporate functions. Originally active in 2025, the procurement had set critical deadlines, such as the expression of interest deadline in August 2025 and the final award period ending in January 2026, but did not proceed to award due to cancellation.

This tender promised opportunities for businesses specialising in hospitality, especially those equipped to operate within iconic venues and handle diverse functions from casual café services to grand weddings and corporate events. While the procurement was cancelled, the initiative reflected significant potential for growth and diversification for SMEs with expertise in high-quality catering and event management services, poised to benefit from a contract initially valued at £55 million. This emphasis on quality and price as key criteria in the awarding process, alongside the concession arrangement's flexibility, highlighted an opportunity for businesses with robust capabilities and readiness to engage in negotiations to enhance value and optimise service offerings. Despite its cancellation, the process offered valuable insights and a template for future opportunities in similar industry categories and locations.
