## Summary

Hampshire County Council has established a framework agreement for the supply of early years toys, curriculum, and special needs products, under tender ID CS26904A. The procurement process, initiated through an open procedure, included the involvement of the Central Buying Consortium, with delivery focused on specified regions within the United Kingdom. The agreement allows orders to be placed by members and educational establishments within the consortium. The framework spans from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2030, encompassing a substantial budget with a gross value of £2,880,000. The initial tender process concluded on 13 January 2026, and the award was made to Findel Education on 20 January 2026, with the standstill period ending on 30 January 2026.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in educational products to engage in long-term partnerships with a substantial public authority. Large enterprises involved in the manufacture and distribution of educational toys and materials are particularly well-suited to benefit, especially considering the framework’s scope to supply a range of educational and special needs goods. The structure of this procurement encourages competitive pricing and efficiency, with room for growth through maintaining a robust presence in the educational supply sector. Furthermore, the single supplier framework ensures exclusivity and potentially steady sales volumes for the chosen supplier.
