Electronic Office Supplies - 1236
Framework Description
YPO's Electronic Office Supplies framework (reference 1236) lets public bodies buy original (OEM) and compatible ink and toner cartridges, print consumables and peripherals, and data storage media such as USB sticks and SD cards. It is a single-lot framework with no extension option, running until 9 February 2030.
Context & Use Case
Schools, council offices and other public sector bodies use it to keep printers and copiers running, buying cartridges, drums and fuser units as needed. Buyers can choose OEM or compatible products depending on budget and printer warranty terms, without running their own tender for routine consumables.
Scope of Services
OEM and compatible ink and toner cartridges Print consumables such as drums and fuser units Print peripherals Data storage media, including USB sticks and SD cards
Lots
Lot 1 - Electronic Office Supplies
Who Can Apply
Manufacturers, distributors and resellers of ink, toner, print consumables and storage media. Applications for this framework are closed, so other suppliers cannot join before it ends. The re-tender is likely to come ahead of 9 February 2030, as there is no extension.
Buyer Benefits
Offering both OEM and compatible cartridges lets buyers balance cost against printer warranty concerns on one framework. Having consumables, peripherals and storage media in one lot means a school or office can cover routine print and storage needs through a single route, with suppliers already checked by YPO.
Next Steps
Suppliers on 1236 should keep catalogue lines and prices current and respond promptly to call-offs. Others should mark 9 February 2030 as the end date and prepare for the replacement: product range lists, compatibility and quality standards, cartridge recycling or take-back schemes, and delivery coverage for schools and offices.
How Athena Can Help
For suppliers on the framework, Athena's bid writing for consumables suppliers helps you compete for call-offs with pricing that stays competitive across OEM and compatible lines, and clear answers on delivery and recycling.
For others, our office products framework finder points to supply routes open before 2030, and our re-tender preparation support plans the evidence you will need for the next round, including social value and environmental credentials. A Bid Health Check on your draft finds weak answers on cartridge quality and recycling before YPO sees them.
