UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education Village Academy Trust bought office and education supplies for use across its schools. This is a goods requirement covering office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, excluding furniture and software packages. The buyer is a public academy trust based in Darlington, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement supports the day-to-day operation of the trust’s schools, bringing general office supplies together with education-related supplies through one purchasing arrangement. Suppliers active in business stationery, school supplies, office equipment, computing-related consumables and associated distribution services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to serve multiple education sites rather than a single premises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective route under a framework, without a competitive call-off. There was one completed lot. Lyreco UK Limited was awarded the contract on 16 July 2026 for £315,030 excluding VAT, or £378,036 including VAT. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The award is above the relevant threshold. The contracting authority is The Education Village Academy Trust, with procurement support provided by Value Match Services Ltd. The published outcome records an active award and active contract, with performance measures covering complaints, customer satisfaction, sustainability and social value.

This outcome indicates established demand from a multi-school academy trust for a broad range of office and education supplies, delivered through a framework-based purchasing route. A future competitor would need a reliable catalogue covering both routine office requirements and school-specific supplies, supported by dependable stock availability, order processing and distribution across multiple education sites. The successful supplier profile also points to the importance of operating at substantial scale and managing a public-sector supply arrangement rather than serving isolated orders. Credible bidders should be able to demonstrate consistent customer service, complaint handling, customer satisfaction management, and practical commitments to sustainability and social value, alongside the operational capacity to maintain supply continuity across the trust.
