Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited procured domestic appliances, furniture and associated delivery and installation services for its housing stock. The requirement covers supplying and installing domestic white goods and furniture packs, and removing items being replaced, at tenanted and vacant properties owned, managed or maintained by Derby Homes. Related goods may also be supplied and installed at other sites it manages or maintains. The work is delivered in Derby. Derby Homes sought a single contractor for the requirement, which is classified as goods procurement. The scope combines the supply of household appliances and furniture with installation and removal work, supporting the furnishing and upkeep of the organisation’s housing and other managed properties.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Furniture Resource Centre Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The original contract was signed on 1 February 2025, with a stated value of £1,670,000; the contract was subsequently modified to £2,505,000 and a 36-month duration, reduced from 48 months. The modification followed higher-than-anticipated demand caused by more temporary accommodation conversions, and was intended to maintain service continuity while a competitive retender was completed. A second active award and contract entry names the same supplier and requirement, with a signature date of 27 January 2025 and a value of £2,505,000. The open procedure used written submissions, with price and quality criteria. The submission deadline was 12 December 2024, and six bids were recorded.

This award shows demand for a supplier able to provide a coordinated household goods and furniture service for a housing provider: sourcing white goods and furniture packs, delivering to tenanted and vacant homes, installing items, and removing replacements. The requirement also extends to other properties and sites managed by Derby Homes, so bidders need logistics and installation capacity across multiple locations, alongside the ability to respond to changing demand. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement was not confined to a large corporate provider. The increase in demand associated with temporary accommodation conversions highlights the value of being able to scale supply and fulfilment. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable delivery, installation and removal operations, and experience serving housing properties.
