## Summary

The Department of Finance in Belfast is overseeing a collaborative procurement process for the provision of copier paper, with an estimated value of £15,000,000. This framework agreement will serve the needs of various contracting bodies over its term. The procurement falls under the goods category and is specifically for photocopier paper. This opportunity follows an open procedure, governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, including a standstill period for tenderers. Key timelines include the tender period ending on 1st October 2024 and the subsequent award period starting the same day. The framework agreement’s duration is set for a specific term with renewal options upon its expiry.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply chain for office supplies and paper products. Large companies as well as SMEs, such as Banner Group Limited, ANTALIS LTD, and Graphic Paper Merchants Northern Ireland Limited, can benefit from participating in this framework. The competitive tender, evaluated significantly on cost (90%) and to a lesser extent on quality (10%), opens doors for suppliers to serve various public sector entities, including the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Businesses with strong supply chains and competitive pricing in the photocopier paper market are well-situated to compete effectively in this process.
