Summary of the contracting process

The Rail Safety and Standards Board, a public authority under sub-central government, has concluded a procurement process for the supply of 90 office chairs under the tender titled "Office Chairs." The procurement falls under the industry category of office furniture and was conducted using a limited method due to being below the threshold for open competition. This contract, located in London, United Kingdom, was at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 17th April 2025. The supply contract is scheduled to start on 2nd June 2025 and conclude by 9th June 2025, with the award notice published on 23rd April 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in office furnishings, particularly those capable of delivering a volume of quality goods within a short timeframe. Although the procurement process involved limited competition, it highlights potential growth avenues for large businesses like Oktra Limited, the awarded supplier, to establish or strengthen their foothold in government contracts. Such tenders are particularly advantageous for large enterprises with capabilities in goods supply, as they can leverage existing infrastructure to efficiently meet the delivery requirements.
