UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College bought stationery supplies for its operations through the CPC Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies Framework, Lot 1. The requirement covers general stationery, classified under CPV 30192700. The college is the buying organisation and is based at its Rochdale Campus, St Mary's Gate, Rochdale. The awarded supplier is Banner. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. This is a goods contract rather than a service or works requirement. The procurement is therefore relevant to stationery manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and framework suppliers able to provide routine education and office stationery to a further education college. The published scope is limited to stationery supplies, with no wider facilities, printing or education-service requirement identified.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Banner. It used a direct award under the CPC stationery, paper and education supplies framework, Lot 1, because only one supplier was appointed to that lot. The procedure was below threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The award covers Lot 1 and has an active award status; the contract is also active. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s compliant direct-award provisions rather than a competitive tender. No separate scoring criteria or competing lots are identified.

This award confirms a recurring stationery requirement from Hopwood Hall College, with purchasing routed through a sector framework and, for this lot, a single appointed supplier. Businesses that want to compete when a similar requirement next returns would need a dependable catalogue of general stationery, established wholesale or distribution capacity, and the ability to fulfil college orders across the United Kingdom. Experience supplying education or office customers would help demonstrate fit with the buyer’s operating environment. Framework participation is commercially important because this purchase was made through the CPC Stationery, Paper and Education Supplies Framework rather than through an open competition. Suppliers without framework access would need to consider how they could qualify for a future relevant framework opportunity.
