This process involved multiple lots, including Office Supplies, Bulk Paper, Computer Supplies, and Library Supplies. The agreement started on 1st August 2024, running initially for twenty-four months until 31st July 2026, with the possibility of two twelve-month extensions, potentially concluding on 31st July 2028. The total estimated value for this framework is £82,682,690, with key suppliers such as Banner Group Ltd, Lyreco UK Ltd, and others based across the UK in areas including Sheffield and Glasgow, making it geographically diverse and beneficial for a wide range of organisations including universities and public sector bodies.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the office and library supplies industry to secure long-term contracts and solidify their market presence. Large companies like Banner Group Ltd and SMEs like Wildhearts Office Ltd participated, indicating that both large and small businesses are well-suited to compete. The framework encourages competitive pricing with a higher weight on price (60%) over quality (40%), making it ideal for firms that can deliver cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. Participation in this tender can enhance business growth by expanding market reach and establishing robust partnerships within the public and education sectors.
