Decision:
The Assistant Chief Executive (Business
Support) has approved the direct award for the contract for the
Supply and Delivery for Office Supplies to Lyreco via the YPO
Office Supplies – 1001 Framework.
The value of the contract is estimated to be up to £583,000.
It must be noted that the demand for office supplies is variable
and it is unknown whether it will return to pre-Covid 19
levels.
The duration of the contract shall be for an initial term of 3
years, with the option to extend (1 x 12 months). The potential
maximum term is 4 years.
Reasons for the decision:
The Council’s existing contract is due
to expire 14th January 2022, and a new contract is required to
ensure continuation of the supply and delivery of office supplies
as required by the Authority.
Alternative options considered:
The use of alternative frameworks in addition
to other routes to market have been considered, however utilising
YPO’s Office Supplies – 10001 Framework has been
identified as the most appropriate option for this
provision.
