UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured electronic office consumables, including printer cartridges, ink and compatible products. The requirement is for goods used to support office printing and related administrative activity. It sits within the wider category of office machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding computers, printers and furniture. Delivery is for South Tyneside in the United Kingdom, with the council based at Town Hall and Civic Offices, Westoe Road, South Shields. The procurement was arranged by South Tyneside Borough Council as the public-sector buying organisation. The scope is focused on recurring consumable supplies rather than office equipment, IT hardware or furniture, so it is most relevant to businesses supplying printer consumables, compatible cartridges and ink, and associated office supply distribution services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a below-threshold award under the NEPO502 Framework, through direct award rather than a competitive process. LYRECO UK LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2030. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The award is for the electronic office consumables requirement and is recorded as an active award. The arrangement covers one recorded lot, while the tender title describes the requirement as Lot 2. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The award route indicates that suppliers were assessed through the framework’s established arrangements rather than by competing bids for this call-off.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from South Tyneside Borough Council for printer cartridges, ink and compatible products over a multi-year supply period. Businesses well placed for comparable requirements would have dependable access to a broad range of electronic office consumables, including compatible alternatives, together with the distribution capacity to serve a public-sector buyer in South Tyneside. Experience supplying councils or other organisations through public-sector frameworks would be commercially relevant, particularly where the route to market is a direct award under an existing framework. A credible future competitor would need reliable product sourcing, stock availability, order fulfilment and delivery arrangements, alongside the ability to support routine replenishment rather than one-off equipment sales. The incumbent is a large office-supplies provider, indicating the scale and operational resilience expected for this requirement.
