Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, acting for the Cabinet Office, procured office stationery and electronic office supplies, classified as stationery (CPV 30192700). The requirement covers the supply and delivery of routine workplace consumables and electronic office equipment across a very broad international footprint. Listed destinations include the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, European countries and countries across other parts of the world. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction contract. The buyer is based in Liverpool and the appointed supplier is Banner Group Limited, a large office-supplies business. The requirement is therefore relevant to established distributors and manufacturers able to provide a broad product range and fulfil orders across multiple jurisdictions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender deadline on 22 December 2020. The contract was awarded to Banner Group Limited on 19 August 2021. The awarded value is £480,000, with a minimum estimated value of £400,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2026. The tender records the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active. A contract change notice records a 12-month extension, and signed extension documentation is associated with the procurement. No lots are identified, so the value and term apply to the requirement as a whole.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows the Cabinet Office requirement for a substantial, centrally managed supply of stationery and electronic office supplies through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need the range, stockholding and purchasing capability to support varied office-supply orders, together with reliable distribution to destinations spanning the UK, Crown Dependencies, Overseas Territories, Europe and wider international locations. The recorded buyer preference favours an established large-scale operator rather than an SME or voluntary-sector provider. Experience in public-sector framework arrangements, compliant order fulfilment, international logistics and consistent service across dispersed end users would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.
