Summary of the contracting process

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation has completed a procurement process for the "Stationary and Office Supplies" contract, falling under the "Office machinery, equipment and supplies except computers, printers and furniture" industry category. This contract, classified as goods, was procured through a direct award procedure from the NWUPC Office Supplies framework. Despite the initial cancellation of the lot due to procedural aspects, a successful contract award was made to Banner Limited on 5th May 2026, valued at £225,000. The delivery covers various regions across the UK, specifically UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method used was a limited one, with no prior call for competition, signifying an expedited process outside the traditional scope.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses equipped to supply office supplies and machinery, particularly those operating with efficiency and a track history within established frameworks. Although the process involved a single large supplier, Banner Limited, businesses of varying scales, including those aiming to upscale through frameworks, may find similar opportunities to engage with public bodies like universities. Companies specialising in the relevant CPV classification for office machinery and equipment may leverage such opportunities by ensuring alignment with framework criteria and demonstrating capability to deliver across broad geographic regions in the UK.
