Summary of the contracting process

The Student Loans Company Limited (SLC) recently completed a procurement process to replace office task chairs across several of their sites, including locations in Glasgow, Darlington, and Llandudno Junction. The contract, titled "Office Chairs," falls under the furniture and furnishings industry category. The procurement process, which followed a selective method and was a call-off from a framework agreement, concluded with the awarding of the contract on 21st February 2025. The contract period spans from 3rd March 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the total contract value amounting to £904,932. Key delivery addresses include sites in Glasgow (G5 8DF, G52 4JT), Darlington (DL1 1RW), and Llandudno Junction (LL31 9RZ).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale suppliers of office furniture. The successful bidder, Emergent Crown Contract Office Furnishings Limited, a large company based in Halifax, was chosen to supply the required office chairs. Businesses with the capacity to handle extensive logistics and delivery across multiple sites, along with experience in furnishing large organisations, stand to benefit the most from similar procurement opportunities. While this specific tender was not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it highlights the importance of framework agreements and selective procurement methods in public sector contracts.
