## Summary

Dartford Borough Council has awarded a National Public Sector Workplace Supplies and Services Framework. This framework aims to supply various workplace necessities including office stationery, paper, print consumables, and cleaning and janitorial supplies such as hygiene products and PPE. The framework is set to last from 1st November 2024 to 31st October 2027. The procurement process started with a tender that was open from 7th August 2024, with a deadline on 6th September 2024. The awarded suppliers include Banner, BATES OFFICE SERVICES LTD, LYRECO UK LIMITED, and others. This framework covers three different lots: a one-stop-shop for workplace supplies and services, office supplies and print consumables, and cleaning and janitorial supplies. The procurement method used was an open procedure above the threshold, highlighting the transparent and competitive nature of the process.

This tender offers significant opportunities for a wide range of business types, particularly those in the office supplies, cleaning, and hygiene sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this opportunity particularly beneficial as the framework includes up to five suppliers for Lot 1, and three suppliers for Lots 2 and 3, making it accessible for businesses of varying scales. The expansive scope and substantial value of the contract, estimated at £170 million, offer lucrative possibilities for growth through long-term engagement with Dartford Borough Council and the wider public sector. Companies with established supply chains and the capability to meet large-scale public sector demand will find this framework an excellent platform to enhance their market presence and profitability.
