## Summary

Hampshire County Council is engaging in a procurement process, titled "Framework Agreement for the Supply of Batteries and Torches," which aims to secure the supply of batteries and torches to both Hampshire County Council's County Supplies and Hertfordshire County Council’s Dept Herts FullStop. The goods will be delivered to warehouse distribution centres in Hampshire and Hertfordshire. This procurement, executed through an open procedure, involves multiple contracts across different lots, each focused on branded batteries, unbranded batteries, and torches.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers of goods in the electrical industry, as the framework agreement allows for multiple participants. SMEs are encouraged to participate, with several successful awards to small enterprises like Baruch Enterprises Limited and Upergy Limited, indicating a competitive and diverse supplier landscape. The business opportunities are substantial, with a total contract value of GBP 400,000 distributed across the lots. Organisations skilled in manufacturing or distributing batteries and torches would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities, especially given the focus on price criteria and electronic submission policy.
