How do you access and tender for major venue group spirit supply contracts like Caprice Holdings?

Caprice Holdings runs formal spirits supply tenders targeting larger-format products (5L BiBs, bag-in-box formats). Members report the group forecasts approximately 250,000 glass bottles across all spirit categories, making it an attractive opportunity for brands with volume capacity and sustainable packaging solutions.

**Access and tender mechanics:** - Your importer needs to be "strong enough" to have access to tender documents — direct relationships with the distributor or importer appear critical for receiving the tender paperwork - Brands currently tendering or considering it include **ELLC, Sapling, Duppy, Avallen**, plus own-label products like **Regal Rogue Vermouth** (5L BiBs) and premium rums in 5L format - Tenders are sent out periodically; members reported receiving one a couple of weeks prior to discussion - **Sustainability angle:** pushing larger formats and collectively messaging carbon footprint reduction appears to align with Caprice's priorities

**Key takeaway:** Access depends heavily on having an established importer relationship strong enough to be on Caprice's vendor list. Without that, you won't receive tender documentation. Members emphasise this is a meaningful volume opportunity for anyone positioned to supply at scale.
