## Summary

Fife Council bought educational materials for delivery across Fife, Scotland. The requirement covers the supply of education-related goods under CPV 39162000, supporting the council’s public education services. It was procured through the Scotland Excel Contract for Educational Materials and covered all lots, with this process recording the council’s call-off requirement. The contracting authority is Fife Council, a local authority based in Glenrothes. The awarded supplier was Findel Education Ltd, based in Hyde, and the contract relates to the delivery of materials for use within Fife. This is a goods procurement rather than a services or works requirement, and is relevant to suppliers of educational resources able to serve a council-wide requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as an open procedure, with one electronic bid received; the sole bid was from an SME. Findel Education Ltd was awarded the contract for the single lot. The notice is retrospective and records actual call-off against the Scotland Excel educational materials arrangement. The stated call-off period was 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, while the lot description gives 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2026. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and has an active status. Its awarded contract value is £1,218,397. Evaluation was conducted through the open-procedure route, with the contract awarded to the sole bidder for the educational materials requirement.

This award demonstrates substantial council demand for educational materials supplied across Fife through a recognised collaborative purchasing route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of education-related goods, the operational capacity to fulfil council-wide call-offs, and reliable distribution into schools and other public education settings. The procurement also shows that an SME secured the award, indicating that participation was achievable for a suitably scaled specialist supplier rather than being limited to a large national organisation. Suppliers should be familiar with open public procurement, electronic bidding and the requirements of collaborative frameworks or contracts such as Scotland Excel’s educational materials arrangement. Experience supplying public-sector education customers would strengthen a competing offer.
