The Supply of Whiteboards and Whiteboard Markers

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation · Local or regional public body

In brief

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation awarded office supplies and furniture work to Texet Sales Limited, Edding (U.K.) Limited and Newell Brands UK Limited and 3 others on 3 February 2026.

It is a framework worth up to £20,200,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 January 2026.

It is split into 10 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
