## Summary

The City of London Corporation has completed its procurement process for supplying beverages at the iconic Barbican Centre. This tender encompassed three lots, each addressing distinct requirements: Lot 1 for pre-packaged drinks, Lot 2 for wines, and Lot 3 for draught beer, with estimated annual values of £125,000, £100,000, and £120,000 respectively. Tendering utilised an open procedure through the City of London Corporation's electronic system. Contracts for Lots 1 and 2 span two years, with a potential extension to four years, while Lot 3 is a four-year contract without extension options. The City of London Corporation operates under the legal basis of UK Public, Legislative Act 2023/54. Key dates include the tender process initiated on 8 December 2025, with the standstill period concluding on 1 May 2026 and contracts commencing on 11 May 2026.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in beverages, tobacco, and related products, particularly within Greater London's UKI region. Large-scale companies like Enotria Winecellars, Freixenet Copestick Limited T/A Jascots Wine, and Brixton Brewery Limited have been named as suppliers demonstrating their capacity to meet substantial demands. SMEs are also encouraged to participate, especially for pre-packaged drinks, where previous bids were dominated by smaller enterprises. Businesses adept at providing competitively priced, innovative beverage solutions to reflect the cultural significance of the Barbican Centre are positioned well to compete for similar future contracts, fostering business growth and expansion.
