UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officers of the House of Commons and House of Lords are procuring specialist paper for the functions of both Houses. The requirement covers a range of high-quality, responsibly sourced paper products, including critical and non-critical supplies, with timely delivery to the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster. Products include photocopier and xerographic paper, printing paper, self-copy and other copy paper. This is a goods contract for a supplier able to provide a dependable paper supply service rather than a one-off purchase. The arrangement supports the day-to-day operational needs of both Houses, with delivery and continuity of supply forming an important part of the requirement. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger paper product suppliers with the necessary distribution capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a single-lot open procedure. Two final-stage bids were received. Banner Group Ltd was selected on 8 September 2026 for £1,106,069.96 excluding VAT (£1,327,283.95 including VAT). The award has a standstill period ending on 22 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 24 September 2026. The awarded contract is due to run from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2029, with two possible one-year extensions to 12 October 2031. The original tender deadline was 8 April 2026 at noon, and the enquiry deadline was 16 March 2026 at noon. Evaluation weighted commercial pricing at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%; quality included product samples. Participation required legal, financial and technical ability.

This award demonstrates established demand from the UK Parliament for a managed supply of specialist paper across photocopying, printing and copying applications. A credible future competitor would need access to a broad range of high-quality, responsibly sourced paper products, reliable stock and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to deliver consistently to the Parliamentary Estate. Continuity of supply matters, including resilience against delivery failures, sudden price changes, demand fluctuations and supplier-performance issues. Suppliers should be able to provide product samples and answer detailed quality questions, complete a structured pricing basket, and evidence suitable legal, financial and technical capability. Strong commercial control is important because price carried the greatest evaluation weighting, while demonstrable social value and environmental compliance would also be needed to compete effectively.
