Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Consortium Academy Trust requires a preferred, non-exclusive supplier for stationery, paper and education supplies, including classroom consumables and general office supplies. The requirement covers the items listed for reference in its stationery and consumables range, with actual purchasing levels varying according to the Trust’s needs. Supplies are to be delivered across the United Kingdom, supporting the Trust’s education operations. The procurement is for goods and was arranged through Lot 1 of the CPC Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies framework. This is a routine supply requirement rather than a project involving installation, construction or specialist professional services. Relevant businesses are office-products distributors, education-supplies wholesalers and suppliers able to provide a broad catalogue of stationery and classroom consumables through a framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed following a direct award under the CPC Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies framework, Lot 1. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition because the framework identified a single supplier for this award. The award is active and was made to Banner Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 for £100,000, including the stated contract value. One bid was recorded. Price was the award criterion. The arrangement is non-exclusive and does not guarantee purchase quantities. It is therefore an awarded framework call-off rather than an open competition, with the Trust retaining flexibility over the volume of stationery and education supplies purchased.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from a multi-school education trust for standard stationery, paper, classroom supplies and consumables, supplied through a public-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need a broad and dependable product range, reliable stock availability, order fulfilment and distribution across the United Kingdom. The requirement favours suppliers that can manage variable demand rather than relying on a fixed-volume order, while maintaining consistent service for education settings. Experience supplying schools, academies or other public bodies would help demonstrate understanding of classroom and administrative requirements. Businesses should also be able to operate through framework arrangements and compete on price, since price was the stated evaluation basis. The existing award shows that a large-scale office-products distributor can satisfy the buyer’s requirements.
