Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured a tail-spend solution through Amazon’s Digital Marketplace. The requirement concerns the purchase of office supplies and related fulfilment through the Amazon Business marketplace, supporting the council’s general public-service operations. Delivery is associated with Leeds, West Yorkshire. The procurement was a call-off from the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace Framework, rather than a standalone purchase of individual office products. The appointed provider is Amazon Business EU SAR, a large organisation based in London. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses able to provide or manage a broad marketplace-based office-supplies service, rather than suppliers focused only on a narrow product line or conventional one-off deliveries. The buyer is Leeds City Council, a local authority serving the Leeds area.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Amazon Business EU SAR on 15 June 2026, with an awarded contract value of £160,000. The contract is active. Leeds City Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition because this was a call-off from an existing framework. The award was based on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement was organised as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award and contract remain active. The published data does not provide a contract end date or duration. The arrangement covers the tail-spend solution through Amazon’s Digital Marketplace, under the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace Framework reference 1142.

This award indicates established demand from Leeds City Council for a managed tail-spend route covering office supplies through a digital marketplace. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a broad range of office products, reliable marketplace functionality and the operational capacity to fulfil varied, dispersed or routine council orders. Experience of working through the YPO Amazon Digital Marketplace Framework, or an equivalent public-sector purchasing framework, would be commercially relevant because the council used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. Suppliers should also be able to compete primarily on price, as price was the recorded award criterion. The successful supplier’s large scale suggests that breadth, purchasing capacity and dependable fulfilment are important benchmarks for businesses seeking comparable work with this buyer.
