Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has bought a broad mix of public-sector supplies and services through Scottish Government frameworks. The spend covers desktop and mobile client devices, web-based and proprietary devices, technology peripherals and infrastructure, software resale, office equipment, managed print, office supplies, postal services, print and associated services, recruitment advertising and public information notices, electricity, natural gas, liquid fuel, and water and wastewater services. The work supports the council’s general operational requirements and is delivered for North Ayrshire Council in Irvine and across North Ayrshire. The main classification is office administrative services (CPV 75110000), although the requirement spans technology, utilities, communications, print, fuel, postal and recruitment-related provision.

This is a completed annual cumulative award covering framework spend, procured through an open procedure with one lot. The spending period ran from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2025. The active contract value is £18,529,828.87. Listed framework spend includes electricity £10,205,616.33; natural gas £2,603,570.85; water and wastewater £1,506,164.84; liquid fuel awards of £1,359,606.80 and £499,120.15; mobile and desktop devices £967,642.00, £590,525.00 and £218,852.00; and smaller awards for office supplies, print, postal, recruitment, software, equipment and infrastructure. The award went to Softcat, Business Stream, Vodafone, Lyreco UK, Ricoh UK, EDF Energy, Total Gas & Power, Highland Fuels, Scottish Fuels, XMA, Hewlett Packard, Computacenter, Royal Mail Group and Mackay & Inglis. Nineteen electronic bids were received, all from SMEs.

This procurement shows recurring council demand across several distinct supply markets rather than a single integrated service. Suppliers well placed for future requirements would have a credible framework route into Scottish local government and the operational capacity to deliver consistently at council scale. Relevant competitors include technology resellers and device specialists, managed print and office equipment providers, stationery and postal operators, commercial printers, recruitment and public-notice publishers, electricity, gas, fuel and water suppliers, and telecommunications providers. The successful supplier profile is established and specialist: the awarded organisations include large national companies alongside Mackay & Inglis, an SME. Evidence of reliable public-sector delivery, framework compliance, electronic tendering capability and the ability to manage repeat orders across North Ayrshire would strengthen a competing offer.
