Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Waythrough procured the supply, delivery and installation of residential furniture and furnishings for domestic accommodation. The requirement is classified as domestic furniture and falls within the goods category. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, including the stated site in Bowburn, County Durham, as well as the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The work therefore suits furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and installation specialists able to provide suitable residential products and coordinate delivery across a broad geographical area. The requirement is buyer-specific, with Waythrough acting as the purchasing organisation. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller firms with the necessary supply and installation capability.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award. The submission deadline was 31 January 2026. The contract period runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2027. Waythrough awarded the contract to FRC Group on 10 August 2026 for £1,400,000. The award is active and covers the full requirement for residential furniture and furnishings, including their delivery and installation. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender because the procurement method was a direct award. The contract is therefore already allocated to FRC Group, rather than being an opportunity for further bids under this process.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Waythrough for residential furniture and furnishings delivered and installed as an integrated service. A credible supplier for comparable future work would need dependable access to suitable domestic furniture, procurement or manufacturing arrangements, stock and logistics capacity, and the ability to complete installation at accommodation sites. Firms should be able to manage deliveries across the United Kingdom and the wider locations covered by this requirement, while maintaining consistent product suitability and service levels. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so smaller furniture suppliers, specialist distributors and installation businesses may be competitive where they can evidence reliable fulfilment, coordinated delivery and practical installation capability at this scale.
