The contract, identified as AUG511885, involves the procurement of an efficient and compliant route to market for public bodies, aimed at reducing resources required to manage low-value or low-volume spends.

Companies that specialise in optimising low-value procurement processes, providing value for money, or those with innovative solutions for public body procurement frameworks would find this contract uptick in demand. Large-scale suppliers like Amazon are well-equipped for such contracts, but there is ample room for niche suppliers who can offer specialised services within the education sector.
