Summary of the contracting process

Dixons Academies Charitable Trust Ltd has completed a procurement process for library resources, with the tender titled "CA17076 - Dixons Academies Trust - Library Resources". This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for textbooks, library books, and school books (CPV: 22112000, 22113000, 22111000). The contract was awarded to Browns Books, valued at £100,000, with a contract period running from 19th January 2026 to 18th January 2029. The procurement was undertaken through a direct award method, indicating a non-competitive selection, and is best suited for SMEs. The main delivery location is listed as Bradford, England, although the scope extends to wider regions including British Overseas Territories and other parts of Europe.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for suppliers of library and educational resources, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who can offer competitive pricing and niche expertise in school and library book supplies. Businesses in the publishing and educational distribution sectors could benefit from such contracts by expanding their reach within multiple regions, enhancing their portfolio with a reputable trust, and securing long-term partnerships. Engaging in this type of procurement could lead to further opportunities with similar educational bodies looking for targeted and specialised resources.
