## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark procured office supplies and IT consumables for use across England. The requirement covers general office equipment and supplies, together with computing machinery, equipment and related consumables, excluding furniture and software packages. It is a goods procurement intended to support the council’s routine office and information-technology needs. The buyer is based at Southwark Council, 160 Tooley Street, London. The appointed supplier, Paragon Customer Communications (London) Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers are within the intended supplier market. The scope is a broad supply arrangement rather than a construction, consultancy or specialist professional-services contract.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The tender submission deadline was 2 March 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and the contract was awarded on 16 March 2026. Paragon Customer Communications (London) Ltd was selected for a contract valued at £120,000. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 March 2027. The procurement covers the requirement as a single scope, with no separate lots identified. The published process identifies office supplies and IT consumables as the goods to be provided. The award is active, and the stated contract value is the same as the estimated procurement value. Southwark is the buying organisation.

For a supplier assessing future work from Southwark, this award demonstrates established council demand for a broad catalogue of office supplies and IT consumables, delivered across England. A credible competitor would need reliable procurement, stockholding and fulfilment arrangements for routine office equipment, stationery-type supplies and computing consumables, with the capacity to manage varied orders rather than a single specialist product. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller business with dependable distribution, responsive customer service and the ability to maintain continuity of supply could be well placed. Experience supplying public-sector organisations, clear product sourcing, accurate order handling and consistent delivery performance would strengthen a future proposition for this buyer. The direct-award route also shows the importance of understanding Southwark’s purchasing requirements and supplier relationships.
