Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the provision of office supplies, including stationery, beverages, and janitorial needs, is managed by the Great Places Housing Group. This organisation, classified as a "Public authority - sub-central government," is located in Manchester, United Kingdom. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on the supply to properties and offices across regions such as Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and South Yorkshire. Potential suppliers are invited to participate in preliminary market engagement activities, with responses due by 13th July 2026. The procurement method used is open tendering, and it falls within the "goods" category, indicating a significant growth opportunity with an estimated contract value of £350,000.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those within the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), due to its suitability criteria. With the delivery of essential office supplies spanning multiple regions, businesses specialising in dairy products, non-alcoholic beverages, office supplies, and cleaning products would be well-suited to compete. Participation in the engagement process could provide valuable insights into buyer expectations regarding delivery timelines and customer service, effectively positioning businesses for successful bidding once the tender progresses to the awarding stage.
