UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Commercial Services Kent Ltd (trading as Procurement Services) is seeking suppliers for a UK-wide framework covering five areas: office supplies and equipment; managed mail and print-room support; warehousing, logistics, removals and secure storage; technology and IT consumables; and promotional merchandise. The scope includes everyday stationery and workplace products, mailroom and print-room operations, collection and delivery, relocation and archive storage with tracking, end-user hardware and peripherals, and branded gifts and exhibition items. Public sector organisations will use the framework to procure these goods and services. Suppliers can focus on one or more specialist areas, from supplying office or IT products to providing managed operational services or storage and transport.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement, with bids assessed separately for each of five lots. The tender submission deadline was 25 November 2026 at 17:00, and enquiries were due by 29 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract period for every lot runs from 25 March 2027 to 24 March 2031; the stated award decision date is 25 March 2027. Estimated lot values are £40 million for office supplies and equipment, £20 million for managed support services, £15 million for warehousing, logistics and removal storage, £20 million for technology and IT consumables, and £5 million for promotional merchandise. Each lot is evaluated on quality (60%), price (30%) and social value (10%). The framework describes appointments for the highest-scoring qualifying bids per lot.

The opportunity suits suppliers with established capabilities in one or more of the five distinct supply or service areas; businesses need not cover the whole framework to match a lot. Office-products firms should be able to supply a broad range of stationery, workplace essentials and equipment. Managed-service providers may need to handle mail flows, digital mailrooms and on-site print rooms. Logistics bidders are suited to storage, secure handling, collection, delivery, removals and asset tracking. Technology suppliers can offer end-user devices, peripherals and related consumables, while merchandise firms can source or provide branded products across several categories. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable for every lot. Quality and social value together account for 70% of lot scoring, alongside price.
