Summary of the contracting process

Waythrough is procuring residential furniture and equipment for accommodation and domestic properties, including hostels, temporary, emergency and move-on accommodation, furnished tenancies and individual homes. The requirement covers decorative paint and related products, recycled paint, furniture, flooring and furniture rental, with supply, delivery and installation where required. The procurement is managed through Procurement for Housing, for use by its member organisations and other eligible public, housing, education, health, emergency-service and third-sector bodies across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The recorded contract concerns residential furniture and equipment supplied to Tees Valley and Durham. The main category is domestic furniture (CPV 39140000), with associated requirements for paints, brushes, fillers, floor coverings and installation.

The procurement has reached award and contract stage. It used an open procedure for a framework agreement, with awards covering six lots. The recorded active contract is with FRC Group, signed on 10 August 2026, and has a value of £1.4 million. The wider framework was evaluated on quality and price, generally weighted 60% and 40%; the retail decorative lot used an equal 50% split. Recorded lot values were £2 million for retail decorative solutions, £20 million each for trade decorative solutions, furniture and flooring, and £5 million each for recycled paint and furniture rental, all excluding VAT. The framework lots were scheduled to run from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2029, while the recorded contract award period ran from 2 December 2025 to 27 November 2029. Lot 1 is recorded as cancelled, alongside the active furniture contract.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Waythrough and the wider Procurement for Housing membership for suppliers able to support furnished accommodation at scale. Relevant competitors include manufacturers, wholesalers, trade distributors, furniture suppliers, flooring specialists, paint and decorating-product businesses, rental providers, and firms able to coordinate delivery and installation. Credibility depends on supplying consistent product ranges, meeting technical and quality requirements, and handling orders and deliveries for housing and domestic settings. Suppliers should be able to serve public-sector and social-housing customers across multiple UK locations, support framework call-offs, and demonstrate both economic capacity and technical capability. The competition attracted established large suppliers across paint, furniture and flooring, but the lots were identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. A 3% rebate on awarded business is also part of the framework arrangement.
