Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED is buying office stationery and electronic office supplies under ACE 731 GCA. The requirement covers routine workplace consumables and related electronic office equipment, classified as stationery (CPV 30192700). It is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. Delivery is intended across a very wide geographical footprint: the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and a large number of countries worldwide. The buying organisation is based in Manchester. The purchase is made as a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6299 framework, Lot 1, for office stationery and electronic office supplies. This is therefore relevant to businesses able to supply a broad office-products range and fulfil orders across multiple domestic and international destinations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 17 March 2026. Banner Group Limited was selected as supplier for £30,000, with the contract running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The requirement was handled as a call-off from framework RM6299, Lot 1, rather than as a standalone open competition. The original tender submission deadline was 12 March 2026. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The stated estimated procurement value and awarded value are both £30,000. The opportunity was not divided into separate lots within this call-off. The published suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand from BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED for a combined office stationery and electronic office supplies service delivered across a substantial geographic footprint. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a wide and dependable product catalogue, reliable sourcing and stock availability, and the operational capacity to process and fulfil orders consistently across the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, overseas territories and international destinations. Experience supplying public-sector or framework customers would help, particularly where orders must be managed through an existing purchasing route rather than a direct standalone contract. Businesses should also be prepared to support an organisation seeking a single supplier capable of handling varied office-product requirements at scale.
