Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the provision of general office supplies under the title "Stationery". The contract, valued at £150,000, includes a wide range of items such as writing supplies, printer and IT peripherals, and office furniture. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Office supplies" and is targeted within the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 28th October 2025. The contract will commence on 13th November 2025 and is set to run for 12 months. Notably, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are considered suitable for participation in this procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the office supplies sector, particularly those establishments capable of fulfilling large-scale, diverse product orders. Companies with robust supply and distribution networks, especially those headquartered within or having supply capabilities in the East of England, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, as the process was executed via a selective procurement method, businesses that are part of existing framework agreements or able to quickly align with such frameworks will find enhanced opportunities for growth. The award to Banner Group Limited, a large-scale supplier, exemplifies the prospect for businesses that can demonstrate scale and reliability in fulfilling contractual obligations efficiently.
