So you'll either need a different valve or a different cap.

I think the former sounds safer. ;-)

But why didn't it come with one?

Because replacement valve innards are generic and fit many styles of types.
They never come with a cap.

Unless you buy "tap revivers"

What I did in the end was "work" the old valve while it was out of the
tap body by screwing the shaft in and out multiple times. Then I
replaced it back into the tap and the good flow rate is restored. (I
should have tried this remedy first before shooting off the Screwfix!)

I'll return the new valve to Screwfix, which is usually very good
about refunds.
