UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The White Horse Federation procured comprehensive office and education supplies for its operations. The requirement covers general stationery, cleaning and hygiene products, classroom workbooks, art and craft resources, specialist special educational needs materials and other products for education and office environments. It also spans office and computing equipment and supplies, printed materials, furniture and furnishings, personal care products, toys, games, sports and musical goods, and related retail and education support. The goods are to be delivered across London, the South East and the South West of England. The buyer is The White Horse Federation, a public authority based in Swindon. This is a broad, multi-category supply requirement rather than a single-product purchase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 July 2026 through a selective procedure as an award under a framework. It had one completed lot. Lyreco UK Limited was selected for the Office and Education Supplies requirement, with an awarded and contracted value of £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract was signed and started on 29 July 2026, running to 30 April 2028, with an optional maximum extension to 30 April 2030. Renewal is subject to service levels and performance. The award was made through a non-competitive framework call-off. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. The published information identifies the requirement and framework route but does not set out separate award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from a multi-school education organisation for a broad catalogue managed through one supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply stationery, cleaning and hygiene goods, classroom and printed materials, art and craft products, specialist SEN resources, office equipment, furniture, personal care items, sports and musical goods, and other education-specific products. The requirement favours suppliers with a genuinely extensive and diverse product range, reliable fulfilment across London, the South East and the South West, and the operational capacity to serve varied school and office needs. Experience of framework call-offs and demonstrable service performance would be commercially relevant, as extensions are linked to meeting service levels and performance requirements.
