Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process initiated by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council involves the award of a contract titled "Call from YPO FW- Amazon Digital Market Place" under the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace 1142 Framework. This contract allows the council to formalise its spending on Amazon by transitioning to an Amazon Business account, which offers benefits like free delivery and guided buying. The contract, classified under retail trade services within the goods category, spans locations in the North East of England, with a procurement value of £286,000. The procurement process was selective and involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 7th May 2025, with the contract period extending from 8th May 2025 to 23rd January 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in retail trade services to align with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's procurement policies and strategic priorities. The utilisation of the Amazon Business platform could be particularly beneficial for companies aiming to streamline their operations and leverage guided buying features to enhance efficiency. However, suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might be limited, considering the procurement method and contract scale. Large-scale suppliers, like Amazon EU S.A R.L., are suitably positioned to compete in such tenders due to their established infrastructure and capabilities in managing substantial contracts.
