Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service is initiating a public procurement process for office solutions and stationery, with a focus on paper stationery and other related items under the CPV classification 30199000. As part of a planned tender, a pipeline notice was published on 20 May 2025 to ensure transparency, indicating that the procurement is likely to be awarded under a PCR Framework Agreement. The procurement falls within the goods category and is above the threshold, with the contract period set to commence on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. Businesses interested should note the future notice date of 1 September 2025 and the location of delivery in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their market reach by providing stationery paper and other office solutions to a central government authority. The estimated gross contract value is £3,211,411, highlighting significant business potential for companies specialising in office supplies. Engaging in such a procurement process can facilitate growth by securing long-term engagements with government institutions and further establishing suppliers within the public sector. Suitable businesses that deliver reliable, quality products aligned with the expectations of public authorities are encouraged to explore this opportunity.
