Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council bought contract-grade furniture for its adult social care services. The requirement covered dining chairs and tables, lounge chairs, bedroom chairs and sofas, intended for use across adult social care settings. The work is the supply of furniture rather than furniture design, installation or care services. Delivery was specified for the East Midlands. This procurement indicates demand for a supplier able to provide a varied range of contract-grade seating and tables suitable for adult social care use.

The procurement is complete and Furncare was selected for the contract. The award was made on 6 September 2026 following an open, below-threshold ITQ/quotation exercise. Bids were assessed on price, quality, suitability and value for money. The awarded value is £75,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 September 2029. The procurement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers considering similar adult social care furniture requirements from Nottingham City Council, a credible offer would need to cover the specified mix of dining, lounge and bedroom furniture, including tables, chairs and sofas, in contract-grade form. The award shows that the buyer selected a supplier for a range rather than a single furniture type. Competing effectively would therefore depend on being able to supply suitable products across these categories and put forward a strong case on price, quality, suitability and value for money. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this procurement. The information sets out no particular accreditation, technical standard or delivery capacity threshold, so no such qualification can be inferred as a requirement.
