Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured furniture for its Hub, specifically chairs and stools. The requirement falls within furniture supply (CPV 39100000) and is classified as goods. Delivery was for the university’s site in Egham, in the South East of England. The procurement was intended to furnish the Hub rather than provide installation, maintenance or other services. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, part of Royal Holloway, University of London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to furniture manufacturers, distributors and specialist commercial furniture suppliers able to provide chairs and stools for a university environment, particularly businesses with experience in sustainable furniture supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through the LUPC Framework Sustainable Furniture Solutions (FFFE2008NE), using an ‘Other’ procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026, and the award was made on 28 July 2026 to Southern Broadstock Furniture. The awarded value was £33,297 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 28 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The published requirement identified furniture, specifically chairs and stools, and stated that the award was made via the framework. The award was active, and the process was evaluated through the framework route rather than as an open standalone competition. Participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful indication of Royal Holloway’s demand for furniture for university facilities and the route it used to buy it. A credible future supplier would need to provide commercial chairs and stools suitable for a university Hub, manage delivery to Egham, and operate through, or secure access to, the relevant LUPC Sustainable Furniture Solutions framework route. The requirement also points to the value of sustainable furniture capability, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate appropriate sustainable product ranges and supporting evidence. Businesses competing for comparable work would need reliable fulfilment capacity, experience supplying institutional or education customers, and the ability to respond to framework-based purchasing requirements.
