Summary of the contracting process

West College Scotland bought the supply and delivery of bulk paper for the college and its associated campuses. This is a goods requirement for bulk paper, classified under CPV 30197642. The buying organisation is West College Scotland, an education provider based in Paisley. Delivery is intended across the college and its campuses; the procurement identifies no more specific delivery locations. The requirement was placed as a single lot and awarded through the NWUPC Framework Agreement for Office, Paper, EOS and Library Supplies, specifically its bulk paper lot. In practical terms, the work is for a paper supplier able to provide bulk quantities and deliver them to a multi-campus college operation, rather than for paper-related services or equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Premier Paper Group Ltd. One lot was awarded, with a contract value of £120,000. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is recorded as active. The process used an open procedure, with the award made as a direct award from the NWUPC framework’s bulk paper lot. The tender data records one bid for the lot, from an SME; the award notice does not state a separate award date or contract end date. There is no recorded contract duration, award evaluation basis or specific eligibility requirement. The recorded value is for this contract only and should not be read as a framework-wide value.

This award shows that West College Scotland has demand for bulk paper serving its campuses, sourced through the NWUPC office, paper, EOS and library supplies framework. A supplier seeking to compete when this requirement next reaches the market would need to supply bulk paper reliably and handle delivery to a multi-campus college customer. The single-lot award indicates the requirement was procured as one package, and the recorded contract value gives an indication of its commercial scale without establishing the value of future requirements. The route used was a framework direct award, so credibility for comparable work would also depend on being eligible to supply through the relevant framework arrangement. One bid was recorded, including an SME bid, showing that the requirement was not confined to large suppliers. The award does not identify technical standards or accreditations.
