Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of student paints and inks was conducted by YPO, a prominent buying organisation in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. This procurement, classified under handicraft and art supplies, was held under an open procedure to establish a framework agreement aimed at delivering the products primarily for educational markets. The tender process officially commenced with the publication on 26th November 2024 and was successfully awarded on 14th March 2025. The procurement status is complete, with the contract duration set from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2029. The framework agreement, valued at £4,500,000, was targeted towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although it also included some large suppliers, ensuring a diverse supplier base for the delivery within the United Kingdom.

This framework presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers within the handicraft and art supplies sector. SMEs, in particular, may find this contract advantageous due to its emphasis on accommodating smaller businesses, fostering an inclusive commercial environment. The contract supports innovation and expansion by allowing participating companies to deliver products to YPO's distribution centre, making it ideal for businesses aiming to enhance visibility and presence in the education market. Additionally, given that the tender permits both SMEs and larger entities like Daler-Rowney Ltd and R Talens UK Ltd, it promotes a competitive environment where diverse organisations can capitalise on the long-term contract to broaden their market reach and enhance their supply capabilities.
