Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department bought routine office supplies for delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers general workplace consumables and equipment used to support the department’s office operations, rather than services, construction or specialist works. The buying organisation is the Government Legal Department, based at 102 Petty France, London. The selected supplier is Lyreco UK Limited, a large office-supplies business headquartered in Telford, Shropshire. This is a goods requirement centred on supplying standard office items to a UK public sector legal department. Businesses specialising in office supplies, workplace procurement and distribution will find the subject matter relevant; firms providing unrelated services or works will not.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 19 January 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Lyreco UK Limited on 16 March 2026 for £60,000. The contract period runs from 17 March 2026 to 16 March 2028. The tender’s estimated value is also £60,000. The published information identifies one overall office-supplies requirement rather than separate lots. The arrangement is not classified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with Lyreco UK Limited as the named supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Government Legal Department for a managed supply of standard office products across the UK. Competitors seeking similar work would need a broad office-supplies range, reliable stock availability and distribution arrangements capable of serving a public sector organisation nationally. Experience of supplying routine workplace requirements at organisational scale would help demonstrate credibility, alongside the ability to operate through a public sector framework and meet its call-off procedures. The selected supplier’s large-business classification indicates that the requirement was fulfilled by a sizeable distributor rather than a small local provider. Businesses tracking government office-supplies demand can use this procurement as a clear reference point for the buyer’s purchasing route and operational scale.
