Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office procured office furniture for its 2026 office refurbishment project, covering offices E1 and E2. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying furniture rather than general building works. Delivery is for the South West of England. The procurement was made by the Met Office, whose base is in Exeter. The requirement was sourced through the NHS SBS Framework SBS10246, indicating that the buyer used an established purchasing route for workplace furniture. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are office furniture manufacturers, distributors, fit-out suppliers and interior services contractors able to provide furniture for an office refurbishment. The scope may suit suppliers that can combine product supply with practical coordination for a defined refurbishment project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to FMS Interior Services Ltd on 3 September 2026 for £68,584.96, including the stated contract value in GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The published award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation was carried out through the framework call-off process. There is one stated office furniture requirement, covering the E1 and E2 refurbishment project in the South West.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Met Office for workplace furniture connected with office refurbishment, delivered through a recognised NHS SBS framework route. A competitor preparing for a comparable future requirement would need a credible office furniture supply and interior services offer, with the capacity to coordinate furniture provision for multiple office areas and complete delivery within a fixed project programme. Experience of public-sector framework call-offs would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to work within framework terms, respond efficiently to a selective process and provide dependable delivery and installation arrangements where required by the project. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so a specialist small or medium-sized furniture, fit-out or interior services business could be well placed to compete if it can demonstrate comparable project capability.
