Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has procured general office supplies, electronic office consumables and catering disposables for its corporate service areas. The awarded requirement covers Lot 1, General Office Supplies, with associated office and computing equipment and supplies, and disposable catering supplies. Purchases are intended for the council estate, schools and service-level-agreement partners, with each service area using its own budget. Products must be catalogued and made available through a punchout connection to Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement. This is a goods supply requirement rather than construction or professional services, involving an extensive catalogue of routine workplace, electronic office and catering consumable products for delivery and use across the council’s operational estate and associated educational and partner organisations.

The procurement is complete: Durham County Council made the award on 11 August 2026 and signed the contract on 13 August 2026. It was a selective, non-competitive call-off under the NEPO502 framework, covering Lot 1. LYRECO UK LIMITED was awarded the contract for £1,600,000 excluding VAT, or £1,920,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The requirement was above the applicable threshold. The award concerns the general office supplies lot and includes the associated electronic office consumables and catering disposables described for the council’s corporate purchasing arrangements. Performance measures cover on-time and complete deliveries, item availability, item quality, pricing accuracy and rectification of service delivery failures, reviewed quarterly.

This award indicates substantial, recurring demand for a broad office and catering consumables catalogue across a large public-sector organisation, its schools and associated partners. A credible competitor would need dependable supply-chain capacity, broad product availability and the operational scale to serve multiple service areas from a centrally managed catalogue. The requirement also favours suppliers able to maintain accurate pricing and product data, provide punchout catalogue integration with Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement and support budget-controlled purchasing by different users. Strong performance management will be important: competitors should be able to demonstrate reliable on-time and complete delivery, consistent item quality, high availability, accurate invoicing or pricing, and prompt resolution of service failures. The current supplier is a large business, indicating significant fulfilment capability is relevant.
