Summary of the contracting process

The Norfolk County Council has recently completed the procurement process for the Norfolk Assistance Scheme framework agreement, which aims to provide reused white goods, household furnishings, and other household items within the furniture and domestic appliances industry category. The procurement stage was marked as "complete," with a contract value of £2,500,000 signed on 7th July 2023. The Council is the buying organization located in Norwich, United Kingdom, and the procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract was awarded to four suppliers: Emmaus Norfolk and Waveney, First Move Furnishaid Ltd, Hughes TV & Audio Limited, and The Benjamin Foundation.

Businesses specializing in supplying furniture, furnishings, and domestic appliances, particularly those focusing on reused and second-hand goods, would find opportunities for growth in participating in tenders like the Norfolk Assistance Scheme. The Council's requirement for providers who assist vulnerable adults with goods for setting up a home opens avenues for SMEs and large-scale businesses in the goods sector. Further, the contract's framework agreement structure, with a possible extension option, allows businesses to establish longer-term partnerships with the Norfolk County Council, enhancing growth prospects and creating a stable revenue stream.
