Published requirement description

The City of London Corporation (the City) invites Tenders for the provision of the supply of soft drinks, spirits, wines, beers and ciders, for sale at the Barbican Centre.

We aspire to develop the Barbican bars to reflect the iconic nature of the Barbican Centre, and also to reflect the organisation’s credentials as a centre for bold and creative ideas. Our drinks should represent good value for money at sensible price points.

The competition will be separated into three different requirements:

  • Lot 1 – Supply of pre-packaged drinks including spirits, soft drinks, beers and ciders (excluding wines)
  • Lot 2 – Supply of Wines
  • Lot 3 – Supply of Draught Beer

The duration of the contract for Lot 1 & 2 is 2 years, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 2 years. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 4 years.

The duration of the contract for Lot 3 is 4 years and no extensions available. The maximum length of the contract is 4 years.

This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system ‘City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal’ (cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com ↗). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free.

The estimated contract value given at sections 31 and 32 is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions.

The estimated annual contract value for Lot 1 is therefore £125,000

The estimated annual contract value for Lot 2 is therefore £100,000

The estimated annual contract value flor Lot 3 is therefore £120,000

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 3 Dec 2029, 23:59 GMT.
  • No preliminary market engagement: The City has not conducted any Preliminary Market Engagement prior to the issuing of the Tender Notice, due to the Barbican Centre knowing the beer, wines and spirits market, which is well-established, with clearly defined standards and competitive offerings. There is no indication of significant disruption, emerging markets or supply change changes that would necessitate further exploration.
