Enter into a direct call-off contract for the
provision of the Authority’s paper and stationery
requirements with Lyreco UK Ltd from the Yorkshire Purchasing
Organisation (YPO) Framework Agreement (Reference 696) for a period
of 3 years.
The YPO Framework Agreement:
• Provides the Authority with an EU compliant Framework
Agreement, which allows a Direct “Call Off” from one
supplier, therefore saving the Authority both time and resources in
undertaking a full tender exercise.
• Offers 27% savings on the Authority’s top 100 most
ordered items thereby reducing the Authority’s spend on paper
&stationery to £134K per annum from £166K recorded
in FY 2016-2017
• Allows the Authority to continue working with a supplier
with a proven track record of good service delivery and a
willingness to deliver financial and efficiency savings through
continuous improvements thereby providing the Authority with best
value.
The option to undertake a full EU tender had
been considered. However, it was deemed that the level of
Authority’s resources required to compete an EU tender
process was not justified..
