Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes sought a single contractor to supply, deliver and install domestic appliances and furniture packs in its tenanted and empty properties. The service also includes removing items being replaced and associated services. Derby Homes can use the arrangement for related goods at other properties or sites it manages or maintains. Deliveries and installations are for Derby Homes properties in the East Midlands, with the service potentially extending to other sites managed or maintained by the organisation. The procurement is for goods, with installation and removal work forming part of the service. It is suitable for suppliers of domestic white goods and furniture able to provide a coordinated supply, delivery, installation and removal service for housing properties.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 12 December 2024. The contract period was set to run from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2029. The tender estimated the contract value at £1,670,000. A later modification increased the value to £2,505,000 and reduced the duration to 36 months; the buyer said higher-than-forecast demand arose from an unforeseen increase in conversions to temporary accommodation, and the change was intended to maintain service continuity while a competitive retender was completed. The buyer sought one contractor. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria or an enquiry deadline.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers with the capacity to source and supply a range of domestic appliances and furniture, coordinate deliveries to both occupied and vacant homes, install goods on site, and remove replaced items. Providers need to be able to respond to demand across a housing portfolio and potentially other properties or sites managed or maintained by Derby Homes. Experience in furnishing or equipping social housing and temporary accommodation would be commercially relevant, particularly given that increased conversions to temporary accommodation drove greater demand than forecast. The requirement combines product supply with practical installation and removal, so suppliers able to manage the complete service rather than supply goods alone are well placed. The buyer identified the work as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
