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’ (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/).
