## Summary

The Department for Education has successfully completed a procurement process to supply Rekenreks for the Mastering Number programme for the 2025/26 school year. The process was conducted through a selective call-off from the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) framework agreement, focusing on supplying educational equipment. The contract, valued at £193,752, commenced on 14th April 2025 and will conclude on 3rd November 2025. This tender was awarded with the objective of distributing up to 64,800 Rekenreks to schools across the United Kingdom, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and globally, aiming to enhance mathematics teaching capabilities.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for growth within the educational equipment sector, especially benefiting businesses that supply or distribute academic tools. Suppliers operating at a scale suited to fulfill such orders and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) could leverage this type of procurement to expand their footprint within the educational sector. Given the process was executed via a competitive framework, companies already part of relevant framework agreements or those with similar strategic alignments are well-positioned to capitalise on future opportunities like this.
