UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority procured office supplies for its operational and administrative needs. The purchase covers office supplies delivered across areas in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. This is a goods requirement, rather than a service or works contract, and is described as an award under the NEPO502 office supplies framework. The buyer is a fire and rescue authority serving Tyne and Wear. The procurement is relevant to suppliers able to provide and distribute a broad range of workplace and stationery supplies to a public-sector customer across a wide geographic footprint.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LYRECO UK LIMITED. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 1 August 2026. Its stated value is £48,000 excluding VAT (£57,600 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions and a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The buyer used a selective route to award under the NEPO502 framework, without a separate competitive call-off. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The available outcome information does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation basis for this award.

For suppliers seeking to compete when Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority next buys office supplies, this award demonstrates demand for routine goods provision through the NEPO502 framework. A credible competitor would need to be eligible to supply through that framework and able to fulfil orders reliably across the authority’s broad delivery footprint. The selected supplier is a large office-supplies business, indicating that distribution capacity and the ability to serve a public-sector buyer at scale are relevant competitive strengths. Suppliers with a dependable catalogue of office and stationery essentials, efficient order handling and established delivery operations across multiple English regions are best aligned with this requirement. The contract’s optional extensions also show the buyer values continuity of supply over a multi-year arrangement.
