Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate he has made of the cost of office solutions across central government; and what framework agreements exist for office stationery and paper.

Value for money in public procurement is essential for the efficient use of government resources​. The Cabinet Office does not hold a central estimate of office solution costs. However, public sector organisations can benefit from procuring office supplies through the Crown Commercial Service's RM6299 Office Solutions agreement. This framework covers various products, including stationery and paper, and streamlines procurement processes ensuring access to competitive pricing.
