Summary of the contracting process

NCG procured office supplies and stationery, covering a range of general office equipment and consumables (CPV 30190000). The requirement is for goods to support NCG’s office and organisational operations. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. The buyer is NCG, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement was structured as a call-off from the YPO framework, Office Supplies IV. Its scope is described at the broad category level rather than by individual products or quantities, so the central commercial requirement is supplying a mixed range of office supplies and stationery to a public-sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Lyreco UK Ltd. The award was made on 1 October 2026, for £1,040,000, with a contract period running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The stated tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 5pm. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the YPO Office Supplies IV framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The award information records one supplier and one contract value; no separate lots are identified. No evaluation criteria or detailed assessment basis are recorded in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from NCG for a broad office supplies and stationery service through an established purchasing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a varied range of general office equipment and consumables and be capable of serving an organisation across the United Kingdom. Experience operating within a framework call-off route would be relevant, as would the capacity to manage a substantial, multi-year supply arrangement. NCG identified the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises; the selected supplier, Lyreco UK Ltd, is recorded as a large business. The commercial fit is therefore strongest for established suppliers able to support wide-ranging office purchasing through a public-sector framework.
