UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited is procuring office products and stationery for its requirements across the United Kingdom. The scope is classified as stationery (CPV 30192700) and covers the supply and delivery of general office consumables and related products. This is a goods contract for a utility buyer, with delivery requirements applying nationally. Suppliers should be able to support an organisation operating across multiple locations and provide a dependable range of office products. The opportunity is presented as a single requirement rather than separate geographic or product packages. It may suit wholesalers, distributors, office-supplies companies and manufacturers with established UK fulfilment arrangements, as well as smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process has four stages: a procurement-specific questionnaire as a condition of participation, balanced scorecard assessment, presentation of an online ordering platform, and negotiations followed by a best and final offer and award. Enquiries were due by 4 September 2026 at 16:00, and expressions of interest by 19 September 2026 at 16:00. The award decision was due by 14 December 2026 at 23:59:59. The estimated value is £1,311,735 excluding VAT, or £1,574,082 including VAT. The contract is scheduled for 24 December 2026 to 23 December 2030, with two one-year extension options to 23 December 2032. Quality carries 60% and price 40%.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to deliver a broad office-products and stationery range reliably across the UK. Bidders need the technical capability described in the Scope of Work and must complete the procurement-specific questionnaire. They should also be prepared to demonstrate an online ordering platform and provide written technical responses for assessment. Commercial capability includes preparing a completed best-and-final-offer pricing schedule and engaging in negotiations if required. The evaluation places greater emphasis on technical quality than price, so suppliers should be able to evidence a practical ordering solution, dependable fulfilment, product availability and service support. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, while participation is reserved for sheltered workshops.
