UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process concerning the NEPO502 Office Educational and Catering Supplies Framework was orchestrated by Sunderland City Council. This particular contract, titled "Lot 5 - Catering Disposables," falls under the goods category and was awarded on 1st May 2026. It is situated within the UKC23 region, Sunderland, and is part of a broader framework agreement designed for NEPO Member Authorities. The procurement method employed was selective, operating below the threshold via award under the framework. The contract, valued at £80,000, runs until 30th April 2030. Its award marks the completion stage, having gone through processes of competitive tendering, although ultimate eligibility was determined by the Most Advantageous Tender evaluation between primary and contingency suppliers. The legal foundation of the procurement adheres to the UKPGA 2023 legislation framework.

The tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in office, educational, and catering supplies, particularly those capable of delivering disposable catering supplies. Large enterprises like LYRECO UK LIMITED, the awarded supplier, demonstrate that well-established firms with the capacity to handle multi-supplier provisions and execute services efficiently can thrive. Companies that can provide a comprehensive catalogue of goods including promotional products and services, within the framework's scope, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Businesses poised to offer robust logistical and supply chain solutions will find fertile ground for expansion, especially if they can secure roles as primary or contingency suppliers under similar frameworks.
