Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Office Stationery & Paper," which was managed through an open procurement method and divided into two lots. The significant procurement initiative, initiated on the basis of the UK Public General Acts 2023/54, required the provision of office supplies and photocopier paper across multiple delivery points in Blackpool (Region UKD42, United Kingdom). The tenders culminated in active awards signed by 4 September 2025. The contracts for both office stationery and paper are set to commence on 1 November 2025 and extend until 31 October 2027, with potential for further one-year renewals up to October 2029. This sizeable project encompasses a total value of approximately £375,000 across both lots.

This procurement exercise presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in office supplies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Kingswood Office Supplies Limited, which was awarded the contract. The process allowed for multiple bids, signifying a competitive environment favourable for companies that can deliver quality goods within the specified time frame. The open procedure led to Kingswood Office Supplies Limited being able to expand its market presence substantially. This contract is ideal for those in the office supplies sector looking for growth into public sector opportunities, particularly those capable of servicing large-scale, recurrent contracts with multiple delivery locations.
