Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

On 19th June 2025, Lancaster City Council, located in Lancaster, UK, has awarded a contract to Furniture Resource Centre Ltd for furniture services. This award falls under the industry category "Furniture, furnishings, domestic appliances, and cleaning products" (CPV code 39000000) and is part of the Northern Housing Consortium's Furniture Services Framework. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract's duration is set from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2029, and the total value amounts to £600,000. It offers opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs, with Lancaster being the primary location of interest for delivery.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture and furnishings services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. Given the long-term nature of the four-year contract with a potential one-year extension, companies in these sectors can secure steady income streams and enhance their market presence by participating in similar selective tender processes offered through established framework agreements. Businesses with expertise in delivering comprehensive furniture services that align with the framework's requirements, particularly those located near Lancaster or with the capability to serve this region, stand a solid chance to compete effectively in similar contracting opportunities.
