Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited procured a tail-spend purchasing solution providing access to a comprehensive, dynamic catalogue of frequently needed goods across the United Kingdom. The catalogue covers office supplies, office furniture, stationery, facilities and maintenance items, and catering supplies including tea, coffee and utensils. The requirement is classified as office supplies (CPV 30192000) and is categorised as a service. It is intended to support the buyer’s routine, lower-value purchasing needs through a broad supply catalogue rather than a single product line. Businesses relevant to this requirement include catalogue operators, procurement platforms, and suppliers able to provide or manage these types of workplace, facilities and catering goods.

This procurement has been awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tender submissions due by 2 June 2026. The contract was awarded to Mercateo UK Limited on 2 June 2026 for £100,000. The contract period runs from 3 June 2026 to 2 June 2030. The awarded supplier is providing the tail-spend solution for National Wealth Fund Limited, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is complete and the award is active; the available outcome is one award to one supplier.

For suppliers assessing future demand from National Wealth Fund Limited, this award demonstrates a requirement for a single, broad catalogue covering workplace supplies, furniture, stationery, facilities and maintenance products, and catering consumables. A credible competitor would need to offer a comprehensive and dynamic product range, reliable access to many product categories, and the systems and operational capability to support routine tail-spend purchasing through a framework call-off route. The successful supplier was a large business, showing that scale can support this type of solution, while the requirement was also considered suitable for SMEs. Relevant businesses include procurement technology providers, catalogue aggregators, distributors and firms able to coordinate multiple supply categories.
