Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank procured five office pods for its London office. This is a furniture and workplace-furnishing supply requirement, covering the provision of enclosed office pods rather than general office furniture or facilities management. Delivery is in London, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the British Business Bank, headquartered in Sheffield. The requirement sits within the broader furniture, furnishings and office-equipment category. It would suit businesses that design, manufacture, supply and install office pods or comparable modular workplace units, particularly those able to provide several units for a single corporate office location. The scope is focused on supplying five pods for one office, rather than a wider programme of workplace fit-outs or multi-site furniture provision.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Squared Space Ltd. The award was made on 2 July 2026 for £50,000, and the contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 13 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026. It was run as a tender under the British Business Bank’s Standing Financial Instructions. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement and the tender had a total value of £50,000. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in London. The published outcome records an active award and a completed tender. The contract covers the five office pods required for the London office.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for five office pods within a corporate workplace and shows that the buyer used a tender route for a concentrated, short-duration supply and delivery project. A credible competing supplier would need to provide modular office pods suitable for professional office use, manage manufacture or sourcing of multiple units, and coordinate delivery to a London office. Practical capability in workplace furniture, pod configuration, finishes, acoustic performance, installation and site logistics would strengthen a future response where those features form part of the specification. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller specialist business can deliver this scale of office-pod requirement, provided it can demonstrate dependable fulfilment, adequate production or supply capacity and relevant experience with business customers.
