Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency is buying office supplies for government use. The requirement covers the supply of general office supplies, classified under CPV 30192000. Delivery is required throughout the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. This is a goods procurement rather than a services or works opportunity. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, with the procurement managed on behalf of government commercial interests. Suppliers whose business is focused on office products, business consumables and associated distribution are the most directly relevant. The geographic scope means the requirement is intended to support organisations and locations across the UK and the Crown Dependencies.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 7 May 2026. The contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to BANNER GROUP LIMITED, which is the selected supplier. The awarded value is £32,000,000. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2030. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £32,000,000. The award is active. The procurement is not divided into separately reported lots. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available data does not state an award criterion or weighting.

This award indicates substantial, sustained public-sector demand for office supplies across a wide national delivery network. A future competitor would need dependable sourcing of a broad range of office products, robust stock management and the distribution capacity to serve government locations throughout the UK, Northern Ireland and the Crown Dependencies. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, so competing at a similar scale would require operational capacity beyond a small local office-products business. Suppliers should also be familiar with purchasing through framework agreements and with the requirements of government-wide supply arrangements. The evidence points towards a distributor or wholesaler able to manage high-volume orders, consistent fulfilment and geographically dispersed deliveries, rather than a specialist serving a single site or limited locality.
