Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured collaborative office furniture and associated furnishings for projects under its county-wide hubs strategy. The requirement covers furniture supplied on a project-by-project basis to improve colleagues’ working practices and create agile, flexible working spaces across a variety of sites in Derbyshire. The procurement is for goods, within the broader furniture and office equipment category (CPV 39000000). The council is the buying organisation and the work supports its own operational workplaces. Delivery is associated with sites across Derbyshire in the East Midlands. The requirement was contracted through the YPO 1281 Office Furniture Solutions and Associated Services framework, so relevant suppliers would need to understand framework-based public sector furniture delivery as well as the practical demands of collaborative workplace projects.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 8 June 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to Emergent Crown Contract Office Furnishings Ltd on 20 August 2026 for £200,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028. The award covers the council’s project-by-project supply requirement and was made under the YPO 1281 Office Furniture Solutions and Associated Services framework. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the awarded supplier is an SME. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier is responsible for delivery during the stated contract period.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows Derbyshire County Council buys collaborative workplace furniture to support changing patterns of work across multiple council sites. A credible competitor would need a practical range of office and collaborative furniture, the ability to configure solutions for agile and flexible spaces, and the capacity to fulfil distinct projects rather than one uniform delivery. Experience of supplying public sector or other multi-site workplace environments would strengthen its position, particularly where projects require coordinated delivery and consistent service. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale and type of requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business. Familiarity with the YPO office furniture framework route would also be commercially relevant when this requirement returns.
