## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has completed the tender process for the "PLACE151 Supply of Books and related materials for resale in the countryside centres." The procurement method used was a direct award, with a contract value of £25,000 in GBP. The contract period runs from June 14, 2022, to September 9, 2025. The buying organization, Derbyshire County Council, aimed to source Printed Matter and related products for various regions in the United Kingdom, with an emphasis on supporting SMEs. The procurement stage is complete, and the tender closed on June 7, 2022.

This contracting opportunity with Derbyshire County Council presents a chance for businesses dealing in printed matter and related products to supply books and materials for resale in countryside centres across multiple regions in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in supplying local books, maps, stationery, and reading-related products are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Businesses should note the direct award procurement method used for this tender and the commitment to SME support in the selection process.

## Notice

Derbyshire County Council has several countryside centres across the county; Shipley Country Park, Middleton Top, High Peak Junction, Tapton Lock and Elvaston Castle. Previously we had contracts with B for Books and Outstanding. They have supplied us with local books, maps, stationery and reading related toys. A 7b tender process was carried out from which, the department did not receive any other interested suppliers in supplying the countryside service. On top of not being able to get 3 quotes, the time taken to gather quotes each time an order is placed does not provided value for money and is time consuming.
