New contract for stationery and paper
A new national contract for general stationery and office paper has been awarded to Office Depot. The contract was put in place by Scottish Procurement following extensive collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the agreement meets the needs of organisations across the public sector.
The contract commences 1 September and will run for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further year.
The contract will replace the existing arrangements for general stationery and paper currently supplied by Lyreco which end on 31 August 2011.
Public sector organisations using this collaborative contract can benefit from economies of scale and standard terms and conditions. Throughout the period of the contract Office Depot will work with organisations to identify where further efficiency savings could be made through rationalising the product list and tailoring the service levels available.
