Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process was initiated by the University of Dundee under the procurement title "Bulk Paper" within the education sector, classified under CPV code 30197642. The process is classified as complete as of the latest update on 26th May 2025. The procurement method was a "limited" award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the rationale for this method was due to Premier Paper Group being the ranked number one supplier from an existing framework. The procurement took place in Dundee, UK, with the main delivery location also identified as Dundee. The contract was signed on 21st May 2025, with a total value of £200,000.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of bulk paper and related goods. The contract was awarded to Premier Paper Group, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), highlighting the potential for SMEs to secure public contracts of this nature. Businesses with the capacity to deliver high-quality paper products efficiently stand to benefit most from similar opportunities. Participation in such frameworks and maintaining a strong supply reputation within the education sector can lead to additional business prospects as a preferred supplier in future procurement activities.
