Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process titled "DWP Furniture 2025," focusing on the supply of ergonomic furniture and related assessments. This contract, valued at £42,490,000, was awarded to Bates Office Services. Under the scheme of CPV 39130000 (Office furniture), the procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 August 2025 to 30 June 2027, with deliveries spanning the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The tender stage concluded on 10 January 2025, and the award stage was finalised by 16 April 2025.

This tender presents immense opportunities for businesses involved in the production and supply of office furniture, particularly those offering innovative ergonomic solutions. Ideal competitors for future such contracts would include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) since these entities are explicitly marked as suitable by the buyer. Engaging in this procurement process can provide significant growth potential through international delivery opportunities and long-term partnership with a governmental agency.
