Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the University of East Anglia for "Stationery and Office Supplies" is in the award stage, having been completed successfully. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from the NWUPC framework agreement, targeting Lot 1. The associated procurement status is complete, with a contract period starting from 6th January 2026 to 5th January 2030, including options for extension. The contract's total value amounts to £413,845, with goods to be delivered at the University's Norwich location (postal code NR4 7TJ). The industry category for this procurement is classified under CPV code 30192000, which pertains to office supplies. The procurement emphasised provisions suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although it was ultimately awarded to the large enterprise, Banner Group Limited.

This tender presents a robust business growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers within the office supplies industry aiming to enhance their portfolio with substantial institutional contracts. While the concluded contract was awarded to a large supplier, SMEs could perceive it as a prospect to build credibility through participation under framework agreements or upcoming similar procurements. Businesses equipped to provide extensive ranges of stationery and office goods, capable of sustaining long-term service demands across educational institutions, would find this type of tender significantly beneficial. Engaging with such frameworks can enhance visibility and position these businesses favourably for future procurements in related categories.
