The procurement process conducted by the University of Sussex revolved around the provision of furniture for the Health and Wellbeing Centre as part of the West Slope Main Development project. This contract falls under the industry category of goods and specifically targets the furniture sector, including office furniture and other furnishings. The contracting procedure reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Rainbow Office Design Limited. The procurement method used was a limited competition due to the contract being below the threshold value. The contract was signed on 11th December 2025 and will be active until 31st July 2026.
