Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Plymouth City Council on behalf of the Devon and Cornwall Procurement Partnership (DCPP) has resulted in a completed contract for Office Supplies (Stationery). This process serves the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service and is part of a framework agreement through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation. The contract, valued at £70,000, commences on 1st January 2026 and spans an initial two-year term with the option for two additional 12-month extensions, making it possible to extend until 31st December 2029. The buying organisation, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service, is based in Exeter, England, and the procurement focuses on the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off contract from an existing framework agreement, with significant updates published as of 18th December 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in the office supplies industry, particularly SMEs, due to its classification under CPV code 30192000. With the procurement favouring smaller enterprises, businesses that specialise in stationery and can provide consistent, reliable delivery within the South West UK region would be well-suited to compete. As a call-off from a framework agreement, businesses already part of the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation or similar frameworks will find competitive advantage in adhering to the quality and service expectations set by the procurement, potentially leading to a long-term business relationship extending over four years.
