Banner has partnered with a UK policing organisation via the Crown Commercial Service RM6299 Office Solutions framework to provide office supplies, technology peripherals, and cleaning products, achieving measurable cost efficiencies.

Operating to a tight deadline, Banner ensured the seamless delivery and distribution of products across 15 office locations within just two weeks. equipping each department with the required resources to support operational effectiveness.

Challenge

With their existing supplier contract nearing completion, the police service sought a trusted partner capable of delivering efficiency, reliability, and a seamless transition. The organisation required rapid replenishment of a substantial volume of office supplies across multiple departmental locations, ensuring business continuity throughout the process.

In addition, they needed a supplier able to consolidate a diverse range of products, including office supplies, technology peripherals, ergonomic equipment, headsets, and cleaning products into a single, rationalised solution.

Solution

Drawing on a successful relationship established four years earlier, the police authority re-engaged with Banner through our Bids Team, who benchmarked competitive solutions via the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Office Solutions framework.

A dedicated account manager was appointed to work closely with the organisation, ensuring a clear understanding of requirements, coordinating consolidated deliveries across multiple product categories, and maximising cost efficiencies.

Through a direct award under CCS Office Solutions Framework RM6299, Lot 1, Banner provided compliant access to a wide range of leading brands, enabling them to source products seamlessly through a single trusted supplier.

Result

Banner’s dedicated account manager worked in close partnership with the police organisation to successfully deliver the requirements to 15 office locations within just two weeks. By utilising a direct award under the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Office Solutions framework, they benefited from a fully compliant route to market without the need for a formal tender process, saving both time and resources.

Through access to multiple product categories and leading brands, Banner provided a consolidated solution that generated cost savings, reduced the number of deliveries, and improved overall efficiency. This approach also supported sustainability objectives by minimising transport requirements. Leveraging our in-house delivery fleet, which offers next-day services and DBS-checked drivers authorised to deliver to secure sites, we ensured deadlines were met without disruption.
