Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council bought personalised printed matter and promotional products under the NEPO502 framework’s Lot 4. The requirement is a corporate contract for use by all the council’s service areas, with each service area using its own budget to purchase items. Orders may therefore support a range of council functions rather than one single programme. The procurement covers goods associated with printed matter and related products, including personalised print and promotional items. The council is the buying organisation and the selected arrangement serves its corporate requirements. Delivery is within the United Kingdom, with activity relating to the council’s service areas. The requirement is suitable for businesses supplying customised print, branded promotional merchandise and related products at corporate-contract scale.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 following a competitive further-competition process under the NEPO502 framework. It used a selective procedure with award under a framework, and comprised one lot. AllWag Promotions Limited was awarded the contract for £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with one optional 24-month extension available to 31 August 2030. The extension is subject to performance, budget and requirements review. Orders are ad hoc, with lead times dependent on order complexity. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not set out award-weighting details.

This award demonstrates established demand from Durham County Council for personalised print and promotional products through a framework call-off and competitive further competition. A credible future supplier would need to provide customised printed matter and promotional merchandise for multiple council service areas, while managing orders funded and placed independently by those areas. The ad hoc ordering model makes operational responsiveness important, with lead times able to accommodate different levels of order complexity. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist small or medium-sized business rather than only a large national provider. Relevant strengths include dependable production, personalisation, consistent branding, order handling and the capacity to serve varied corporate requirements.
