Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) recently completed a procurement process for the 'UKRI-4609 Furniture Framework for STFC-RAL'. This contract aims to supply and manage furniture installations across several key locations including Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, STFC Chilbolton Observatory, and The Cosener's House. The procurement process adopted an open procedure and the framework's estimated maximum value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT, spread over a potential four-year term with optional extensions. The procurement falls under the industry category of furniture, furnishings, and cleaning products, with an initial contract period from 20th September 2025 to 18th September 2027, extendable up to 2029.

This framework provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply and management of office and laboratory furnishings. It involves both direct awards and competitive mini-tenders, creating a dynamic landscape where suppliers can engage through price competitiveness and quality service delivery. The procurement favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) but is well-suited for any business with the capacity to manage complex logistics and installations in diverse, project-based environments. Companies focusing on quality, efficient delivery, and competitive pricing are positioned to benefit substantially from participation in this procurement framework.
