When I started with Bolton Council, early 90's, I used to deal with all the Sub-Contractors. One Christmas I had about 20 bottles of wine/spirits, 4 bottles of perfume, vouchers and all sorts. They stopped it after a few years and now you are not allowed to accept gifts. Last year I had to meet one of the Contractors in the car park so he could pass me a bottle of wine. This year, nothing.
