Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured 283 new single-seat station resting chairs for 38 stations across the West Midlands. The requirement is for leather recliners measuring 960mm wide by 970mm deep by 1,020mm high, finished in black. This is a furniture supply contract, classified under CPV 39100000. The buying organisation is West Midlands Fire Service, based in Birmingham, and delivery is required across its West Midlands station network. The opportunity is relevant to furniture manufacturers, commercial furniture distributors and suppliers able to provide a consistent model and finish in a substantial quantity for multiple operational sites.

The procurement has been awarded following a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. The tender closed at 5pm on 29 July 2026, and the award was made on 30 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was between £130,179 and £130,180, with the contract awarded for £130,180. Gresham Office Furniture Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract period ran from 30 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. The requirement was assessed through competitive quotation, and the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender status is complete and the award status is active.

This award demonstrates demand from West Midlands Fire Service for standardised, durable seating supplied at scale across a distributed station estate. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need the ability to source or manufacture leather single-seat recliners to the specified dimensions and black finish, maintain consistent product quality across 283 units, and coordinate delivery across 38 West Midlands locations. Furniture businesses with established public-sector or commercial supply experience, reliable production or distribution capacity, and quality-control processes would be well placed. The below-threshold competitive quotation route also indicates that smaller furniture suppliers can be credible competitors where they can respond efficiently, price accurately and fulfil a multi-site order to a common specification.
