Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary procured stationery products for use across its operations. The requirement covers office stationery and related supplies, classified under CPV 30192700, and is categorised as goods rather than services or works. Delivery is to the North West of England, with the constabulary as the buying organisation. The procurement uses Lancashire Constabulary’s arrangement under the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace Framework. The stated purpose is to provide the constabulary with stationery through that existing purchasing arrangement. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of office stationery and workplace consumables able to serve a public-sector police organisation across the North West, rather than providers of general office services or construction-related goods.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Lancashire Constabulary used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open standalone tender. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00. Amazon Business was awarded the contract on 24 June 2026 for £651,971.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030. The award covers the stationery requirement as a single procurement, with the award value matching the tender value. The process was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation weighting is stated.

Although this contract has been awarded, it indicates sustained demand from Lancashire Constabulary for a substantial office-stationery supply arrangement. A competitor seeking similar work from this buyer would need dependable capacity to supply a broad range of stationery products, manage recurring public-sector orders and deliver consistently across the North West. The successful supplier’s route was a call-off from the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace Framework, so relevant businesses would need access to, or a route through, an equivalent public-sector framework arrangement. The buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs suggests that future competitors should be prepared to operate at large-supplier scale, with robust fulfilment, stock availability and distribution capability.
