Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council procured office furniture and associated delivery services for authorities in the Liverpool City Region. The requirement covers workstations, storage, swivel chairs, breakout-area furniture and meeting-room furniture, supplied and delivered for use across the North West of England. It is a goods procurement focused on furnishing office and collaborative working environments, including both standard work areas and meeting spaces. The call-off was led by Halton Borough Council on behalf of the Liverpool City Region authorities, while Knowsley Council is identified as the buyer. The arrangement uses agreed pricing for the furniture range, allowing participating authorities to place orders during the agreement term. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and furniture specialists able to supply coordinated office ranges and manage delivery across the region.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 June 2026 through a direct award under YPO Framework Agreement 1281. H. Jenkinsons & Company Limited was selected for an awarded value of £216,000, with an active contract running from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The earlier tender submission deadline was 16 October 2025 at 12:00. The call-off has no committed spend for the Liverpool City Region authorities, although orders may be placed using the agreed pricing schedule during the contract period. The award covers the full office-furniture requirement rather than separately identified lots. The supplier was selected through the framework’s direct-award route, so the available information points to selection against the framework pricing and conditions rather than a separately stated tender evaluation weighting.

This award shows established public-sector demand for a broad office-furniture range in the Liverpool City Region, rather than a single-product purchase. A credible future competitor would need to offer workstations, storage, swivel seating, breakout furniture and meeting-room furniture as a coordinated supply service, with dependable delivery to organisations across the North West. The requirement suits manufacturers, specialist office-furniture distributors and smaller businesses able to combine product breadth with order fulfilment and delivery capability. Experience of supplying public-sector or multi-authority customers, maintaining agreed catalogue or framework pricing, and handling varied office fit-out orders would strengthen a supplier’s position. The use of a framework direct-award route also makes framework access and the ability to transact efficiently against established pricing important commercial capabilities.
