Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council recently undertook a procurement process under the title "Furniture, White Goods and Storage". This tender, falling under the industry category of goods with additional services, was set in Bradford, United Kingdom. Initially published on 31st July 2025, the tender allowed for an open procedure and aimed to secure suppliers for household furniture, white goods, and storage services, among others. The submission of bids concluded by 26th August 2025, with the enquiry period ending on 12th August 2025. Despite reaching the award period set to end on 19th September 2025, the procurement was eventually terminated on 31st October 2025. This decision was made due to non-compliant bids or bids that were not commercially viable.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in quality household furniture, domestic appliances, and storage solutions to expand their customer base and portfolio. The original contract anticipated a value of £1.08 million and was structured to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Primary businesses positioned to thrive in such tenders include those proficient in supply chain logistics, quality product offerings, and cost-effective pricing strategies, supported by the fact that quality accounted for 70% of the award criteria. The contract, had it proceeded, included a three-year period with options for renewals, offering long-term business growth potential.
