## Summary

Fife Council bought educational materials, specifically sports equipment, for delivery across Fife, Scotland. The requirement was organised as a goods procurement under the wider Scotland Excel educational materials arrangement. It relates to the sports equipment lot and was intended to support education-related purchasing by the council. The relevant product classification is CPV 39162000, covering educational equipment. Fife Council is the public-sector buyer and contracting authority. The recorded supplier is BAND SUPPLIES LTD, an SME based in Glasgow. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses supplying sports equipment and related educational materials, particularly those able to serve schools or public-sector education requirements across the Fife area.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run through an open procedure, with one electronic bid received; the bidder was an SME. BAND SUPPLIES LTD was selected for the sports equipment lot. The associated contract is active, was signed on 31 March 2026 and has a value of £148,526. The award is recorded as a retrospective notice reflecting the actual call-off value under the Scotland Excel educational materials arrangement. The procurement covered the Government Procurement Agreement. The published description states a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2026. No options were included for the awarded lot.

This award provides a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting Fife Council’s education purchasing: the buyer used an open procedure and awarded the requirement to an SME, showing that smaller specialist businesses can compete for this type of work. Credible competitors would need to supply sports equipment suitable for educational settings, manage a broad enough product range to meet a public-sector call-off, and deliver reliably across Fife. They should also be prepared to submit bids electronically and understand how Scotland Excel arrangements are used for educational materials. Relevant experience in supplying councils, schools or other education customers would help demonstrate dependable fulfilment, product suitability and the operational capacity needed for similar requirements.
