Change in supplier of Office Supplies
29 Sep 2021
A message from the Central Procurement Office
Following a recent procurement exercise, we are pleased to announce that the contract to provide Office Supplies has been awarded to Lyreco.
The Lyreco online catalogue is now available for staff to make purchases. Orders for stationery should be placed through eMarketplace via the catalogue.
The process for ordering items remains subject to our University’s current guidance, which is in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In order to make it easier to find the items you need, we have reduced the size of the catalogue by standardising products where possible, such as providing one choice of A4 and A3 recycled paper.
The frequency of deliveries will remain the same as before. These will only take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As all deliveries will be to addresses on campus, you must ensure that you are able to take delivery on one of the stated delivery days.
To help support our University’s sustainability goals, many of the catalogue items are ‘green’ products or have been awarded an environmental accreditation.
We are planning a series of launch events of the service over the coming months. More details will follow on how we can do this safely and in line with University and Government guidelines.
If you require further information about the new arrangements and service, please contact Alison Bates, Procurement Officer, Central Procurement Office: alison.bates@manchester.ac.uk
