UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Tail End Spend" under the industry category of services. The agreement facilitates the tail end spend from the NUPC framework agreement reference ITS2010 NE e-marketplace and involves the direct award to Amazon Business EU SARL, UK Branch, the only supplier on this framework. The contract, valued at £1,600,000 and spanning from 3rd August 2026 to 2nd August 2030, is based in the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a selective method under an awarded framework, indicating a specialised approach suitable for this type of arrangement. Important dates include the award notice published on 6th July 2026 and the standstill period concluding on 16th July 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for robust suppliers capable of handling fragmented procurement across a variety of categories. Although the direct award limits competition in this instance, businesses in electronic marketplace retailing services are well-suited, as the contract demands a diverse supply base capable of catering to multiple needs. Companies specialising in services with the capacity to manage large-scale contracts over an extended period might find opportunities to engage similarly in future frameworks with public authorities like Nottingham Trent University.
