    Stationery Supply Prequalification Scheme SCM1731

    Thank you for your interest in the Stationery Supply Prequalification Scheme SCM1731 (the Scheme) which was established by NSW Procurement in September 2015 and later devolved to NSW Department of Education (DoE) in December 2015.

    The Scheme was intended to provide NSW Government agencies with access to focus group suppliers (Indigenous, Disability and SME) and to serve as an alternate arrangement to Contract 101.

    Since the commencement of the Scheme, participation from NSW Government agencies has been significantly lower than projected. It has also become apparent that current outcome is not serving the intended objectives.

    After extensive consultation with Key Agencies that form the Workplace Supplies Category Management Working Group, approval has been provided by the Procurement Leadership Group to disband the Scheme effective 30 December 2016 (the Effective Date).

    Hence applications already received in NSW e-Tender will not be assessed. Any future application will not be accepted.

    DoE will issue a communication to alert all eligible customers of the intention to disband the Scheme prior to the Effective Date.
