Summary of the contracting process

The Leicestershire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the supply of office furniture under the title "Expression of Interest (EOI): Supply of Furniture for Future Office Model". This initiative aims to explore options for trialling various furniture products that align with the council's future office model designs. Interested suppliers may submit their expressions of interest by September 23, 2021. The procurement process is intended for the office furniture industry and will be based in Leicester, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for furniture suppliers, particularly those offering innovative and collaborative office solutions such as media booths, high-backed sofas, and study booths. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-equipped to compete in this process, as the council is seeking an array of products to trial without immediate commitment to purchase. Suppliers can establish valuable connections with the council, potentially leading to future procurement opportunities.
