UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority, has concluded a contract for the supply of design furniture and appliances under the title "CSP25663 - Design Furniture and Appliances 2". This procurement process, classified under the Office Furniture category, was carried out via a direct method, identified as "Below threshold - without competition", due to the lack of reasonable alternatives for the goods specified. The contract, awarded to Senator International Ltd, covers delivery within the UK and is active from 10th December 2025 to 31st March 2026, with an overall gross value of GBP 12,858. This process is in the Award stage, having been completed as of 11th December 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the manufacturing and supply of office furniture, particularly those able to provide specialised or bespoke products. Although UKRI did not open this procurement to wider competition, potentially reflecting a niche requirement met by Senator International Ltd, companies operating at a large scale or those capable of offering tailored solutions may find future opportunities within similar contracts. This engagement entails a chance for businesses to establish relationships with major government buyers such as UK Research and Innovation and expand their presence within public sector procurement.
