UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VIA East Midlands Limited procured general office supplies for multiple sites across Nottinghamshire. The requirement covers office furniture, catering supplies and stationery, within the broader category of office supplies. This is a goods procurement serving the buyer’s operational sites rather than a construction, consultancy or specialist service requirement. The work is delivered across Nottinghamshire, with the buyer based in Bilsthorpe. The scope indicates a broad, recurring purchasing requirement for workplace equipment and consumables, potentially involving different product lines and delivery needs across several locations. Suppliers serving public-sector workplaces, with established ranges covering furniture, catering and stationery, are the most relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 March 2026 to Lyreco UK Limited. VIA East Midlands used a direct award without competition under the YPO Office Supplies framework. The contract runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2028, with renewal rights in a 2+1+1-year format and a maximum extent to 28 February 2030. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. One supplier was awarded the requirement, covering the office supplies lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 March 2026. The recorded purchasing classification is office supplies, including furniture, catering and stationery.

This award demonstrates demand from VIA East Midlands for a broad office-supplies service across multiple Nottinghamshire sites, rather than a single-product purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable supply of stationery, catering items and office furniture, together with the operational capacity to fulfil varied orders across several locations. Experience of serving public-sector or similarly distributed organisations would help demonstrate dependable delivery, account management and consistent product availability. Familiarity with framework-based public procurement would also be commercially relevant, since this purchase was made through the YPO Office Supplies framework. Suppliers with an integrated workplace-supplies range and the ability to manage routine, multi-site purchasing are best placed to compete.
