Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed a procurement process titled "Housing Access Furniture", falling under the goods category, particularly involving bedroom, dining room, and living-room furniture. This procedure was conducted using a direct procurement method and described as "below threshold - without competition." The main objective was to purchase essential furniture for homeless households, running as a six-month exception on an existing contract nearing expiration. The procurement is located in the UKE41 region, Bradford, UK, with key contract dates set from 11th to 12th December 2025. The buyer, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, awarded the contract to NEWLANDS FURNITURE SERVICE LTD, a Bradford-based small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) with a voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) status.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture manufacturing and distribution, catering to public sector needs. Companies that are adept at providing durable and essential household furniture at competitive prices could benefit greatly from participating in similar procurements. The nature of this exception contract demonstrates opportunities for SMEs that can handle direct awards and collaborate with local government bodies to support social welfare needs, particularly targeting businesses capable of supplying necessary goods efficiently within tight deadlines. Furthermore, businesses engaging in the VCSE sector stand an enhanced chance, aligning their services with public and social value objectives.
