Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has entered the award stage for a Framework Agreement concerning the supply of office machines with a framework period commencing on 1st October 2024 for four years. The procurement process falls under the category of goods and covers office machinery excluding computers, printers, and furniture. This framework adopts an open procurement method and was initiated using the Open Procedure. The tender was divided into two lots: Lot 1 for Stock and Direct Delivery, and Lot 2 for Direct Delivery only. The estimated value for this contract is £1,550,000, and the agreement is open to various public sectors across multiple UK regions, including local educational establishments, NHS bodies, and the Central Buying Consortium (CBC). Key deadlines included the submission of tender documents by 18th July 2024, with the award period beginning on 19th July 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in office machinery supplies. SMEs will find this framework especially beneficial due to its multi-supplier nature, allowing multiple entities to secure contracts under a capped number of suppliers per lot. Companies like Acco Brands UK Ltd, Eastpoint Global Ltd, and several other SMEs exemplified by Rotatrim Limited and Thomas Stoner Supplies have already been successfully awarded significant sub-lots, enabling them to expand their services and client base within the public sector. This framework not only assures significant business growth in terms of volume and geographical reach but also facilitates long-term partnerships with public sector entities, ensuring steady revenue streams for the participating suppliers.
