Summary of the contracting process

Abbey Multi Academy Trust procured a comprehensive range of office and education supplies for its operations and educational environments across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers everyday stationery, cleaning and hygiene products, classroom workbooks, art and craft resources, specialist materials for special educational needs, and other sector-specific products. The procurement is primarily for goods, spanning office and computing supplies, printed products, chemical and personal-care products, cleaning products, furniture and furnishings, electrical equipment, software and information systems, and educational, sporting and creative materials. It also includes products supporting education and training activities. The supplier was expected to provide an extensive and diverse catalogue rather than a narrow product line, serving the needs of the Academy Trust’s schools and offices.

This procurement is complete and was awarded under a framework through a selective, non-competitive process. One completed lot was awarded to Lyreco UK Limited on 20 August 2026. The award and active contract are valued at £600,000 excluding VAT and £720,000 including VAT. The contract was signed and began on 26 August 2026, running until 5 July 2028, with a possible maximum extension to 5 July 2030. Renewal is optional and depends on service and performance. The process was above the applicable threshold. The contract covers the full stated supply requirement rather than separate published lots. Performance measures are set and monitored at framework level. The award remains active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from a multi-academy trust for a broad, dependable education and workplace supplies service. The selected supplier is a large-scale distributor able to combine general stationery with cleaning and hygiene products, printed materials, classroom workbooks, art and craft resources, special educational needs materials, technology-related supplies, furniture, personal-care products and other school-specific goods. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a wide catalogue, reliable national distribution and the operational capacity to serve multiple education settings consistently. Experience supplying schools or public-sector organisations would help, particularly where ordering must cover varied product categories through one route. The requirement also favours suppliers able to maintain service quality against framework-level performance measures and manage optional continuation through strong delivery performance.
