UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office initiated a procurement process for the supply and delivery of office stationery to the British High Commission in Accra. This process, under the industry category of goods, was conducted using an open competition below the threshold. Located in Ghana, the procurement included a framework contract intended to last for three years with possible renewal based on satisfactory performance. Initially, the process was active with a tender period concluding on 30th May 2025. However, the process was ultimately cancelled by 31st July 2025, as indicated by a procurement termination notice issued on 20th August 2025.

This procurement presented significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of stationery or office supplies, especially those capable of fulfilling large-scale, international contracts. Companies operating in or with logistical connections to Ghana would have been particularly well-positioned. The open competition method implies that the tender was accessible to a broad range of suppliers, providing an excellent opportunity for expanding client portfolios with a central government authority. Though the process was cancelled, understanding such tender opportunities can help businesses prepare for future similar opportunities in public procurement, particularly those that demand both technical quality and competitive pricing.
