UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together Learning Trust is buying a comprehensive supply of office and education products for its schools and associated operations. The range includes everyday stationery, cleaning and hygiene products, classroom workbooks, art and craft resources, specialist materials for pupils with special educational needs, and other products for education settings. The requirement spans varied product types rather than a single specialist item, so it is suited to suppliers able to source and deliver a broad catalogue for both office use and educational environments. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement, covering office and educational supplies and related products, including cleaning materials and printed resources.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lyreco UK Limited on 9 October 2026. The award value is £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). It is a single-lot award made through a selective route under a framework agreement; the process is recorded as non-competitive. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2028, with optional extensions potentially extending the period to 30 October 2030. Extensions are subject to service levels and performance. The award covers the full office and education supplies requirement. No separate award evaluation criteria are stated in the published process data.

This award demonstrates demand from Together Learning Trust for a supplier capable of supporting both school and office needs through a wide-ranging product catalogue. A credible competitor when this requirement returns to market would need reliable access to general stationery, cleaning and hygiene goods, classroom workbooks, art and craft materials, and specialist special educational needs resources, alongside further education-sector products. The breadth of the requirement favours a supplier with strong product sourcing, catalogue management and fulfilment capacity across multiple categories, rather than a provider focused on a narrow product line. Experience serving educational environments and the ability to maintain dependable service levels would be commercially relevant, since performance is explicitly linked to any contract extensions. The framework route and the selected supplier’s broad-supply role indicate that procurement capability across the range is central.
