Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT), based in London, has awarded a contract for the provision of office supplies. The procurement, titled "Office Supplies", is classified under the industry category for paper or paperboard registers and other articles of printed stationery (CPV code 22800000). The contract is valued at £600,000 GBP and covers locations across the United Kingdom, as well as DBT partner organisations in various regions including British Overseas Territories and Europe. Initiated through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, the tender process was completed with the contracting stage marked as award. The contract, which commenced from 3 November 2025, will run initially for two years, with an option to extend for two further one-year periods until 2 November 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses primarily in the office stationery and electronic supplies sector. Organisations that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may particularly find this contract valuable, given the suitability consideration mentioned in the tender. The appointment of Lyreco UK Limited, a large-scale supplier, suggests that businesses capable of handling extensive distribution and logistics across a broad geographic scope would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities with the Department for Business and Trade.
