Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Electronic Office Consumables," under the selective procurement method through the NEPO502 Framework. The procurement, classified under the goods category, was designed to supply electronic office consumables, including printer cartridges and compatible inks. The procurement, located in South Shields, United Kingdom, was initiated with a direct award to meet specific needs and is classified under lot 2. The Council is a sub-central government authority, as per the UK_CA_TYPE classification. The key dates include the signing of the contract on 7th July 2026, with a contract period starting on 1st September 2026 and ending on 30th April 2030. The total contract value is £120,000 gross.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in office consumables, particularly those capable of supplying compatible electronic office products. While the contract was awarded to Lyreco UK Limited, future opportunities may arise as part of the framework or similar procurement needs. SMEs with a focus on office machinery supplies and those with competitive offerings in consumables can consider engaging with framework agreements like NEPO502 to enhance their market presence and drive business growth. Additionally, businesses can explore partnering or subcontracting opportunities within such frameworks to establish a foothold in the public sector market.
