Summary of the contracting process

Hopwood Hall College has completed the procurement process for the provision of bespoke AV/IT integrated furniture for Milnrow Chapel, located at the Middleton Campus. This project involves transforming the chapel into a new teaching space for the College’s Engineering and Manufacturing T-Levels curriculum, with a focus on delivering high-quality, bespoke furniture that meets specific requirements. The procurement was conducted through a direct award process under the CPC - Sustainable Furniture Solutions Framework, Lot 3A, to the supplier Dalen Limited. The contract commencement date was 17th July 2026, concluding on 30th October 2026, and the award was officially announced on 23rd July 2026. The total contract value is £111,608.40, and the procurement falls under the furniture category (CPV code 39100000).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in bespoke furniture manufacturing, specifically those with expertise in AV/IT integrated solutions. Companies that can deliver high-quality, tailor-made furniture within tight deadlines and ensure continuity in educational environments could find significant growth potential in similar procurement processes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited for this type of contract, as they typically have the flexibility and specialised skill set required for bespoke projects like this. Despite the direct award method limiting competition in this case, familiarising with frameworks such as the CPC - Sustainable Furniture Solutions can open future opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in the educational sector.

Notice Title

CA18247 - Hopwood Hall College - Provision of Furniture for Chapel

Notice Description

Hopwood Hall College was looking to procure set of AV/IT Integrated Furniture for the Milnrow Chapel, located at the Middleton Campus. Milnrow Chapel will be transformed into a new teaching space. The new classrooms within the building will be used by the College's Engineering and Manufacturing T-Levels curriculum. A direct award is proposed for the supply and installation of bespoke made furniture due to the limited time available to undertake a further competitive procurement exercise and the need to ensure continuity and delivery within the required timeframe. The proposed supplier has the necessary experience, capability, and understanding of the bespoke requirements to deliver the furniture within the required timescales. Proceeding with the direct award reduces the risk of delay, and provides assurance that the required specification and quality standards can be achieved. Although a competitive exercise cannot be completed within the available timeframe, value for money has been considered through assessment of the supplier's quotation, specification, previous market knowledge, and the requirement to avoid costs associated with delay, rework, or failure to meet operational deadlines. The Contract is awarded utilising CPC - Sustainable Furniture Solutions Framework - Lot 3A.
