Summary of the contracting process

The Open University, based in Milton Keynes, has recently completed the tender process for the "Supply and Installation of Office Furniture & Associated Services" contract under the industry category of Furniture, Furnishings, Domestic Appliances (excluding lighting) and Cleaning Products (CPV: 39000000). This selective procurement utilised a call-off from a framework agreement with a total contract value of £110,000. The contract was awarded on 1st February 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with the delivery location specified as MK7 6BP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the furniture and office equipment sector, particularly those capable of delivering quality office furniture and associated services such as desks, chairs, screens, and breakout areas. Although the contract has been awarded to the large supplier BOF, businesses that specialise in similar categories should prepare for future opportunities in public sector frameworks. Companies with a robust supply chain, comprehensive service offerings, and the ability to meet specified delivery timelines would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders.
