Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is overseeing a significant procurement initiative titled "Furniture and Associated Services 3," specifically targeting the furniture industry. This procurement is part of a Pan Government Collaborative Agreement intended to serve Central Government Departments as well as other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education, and Devolved Administrations. The current procurement stage is in the planning phase, with future milestones including supplier surveys and engagement sessions to be completed by March 2026. The total estimated contract value is £480 million gross, and the framework agreement is expected to commence in October 2027, covering regions across the UK and several overseas territories.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those that specialise in providing furniture and associated services, including sustainable options and ergonomic solutions. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are specifically targeted as suitable to participate, which could foster growth and innovation within these sectors. Businesses involved in supplying office furniture, storage solutions, and furniture design services can leverage this opportunity to expand their market reach and collaborate with various public entities across multiple geographic locations in the UK and beyond. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register their interest and participate in engagement sessions to influence the final design of the procurement process.

CCS may require the participant to provide such further information as CCS might specify for any such purpose or may require the participant to withdraw from the preliminary market engagement if, in CCS’s reasonable opinion and at its sole discretion, any of the above issues have arisen or may arise and there are no other means to ensure the equal treatment of all potential suppliers. Prior to requiring any such withdrawal, CCS shall provide the participant in question with the opportunity to prove that its capacity as a participant is not capable of distorting competition.
