Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS), a central government authority in the United Kingdom, is planning a procurement process titled "Furniture and Associated Services 3". This initiative aims to establish a Pan Government Collaborative Agreement for providing furniture and associated services across various central and local government bodies, including health, education, police, and fire services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with preliminary market engagement set to begin in February 2026. The significant upcoming date is the due date for the supplier engagement, scheduled for 1st October 2026. The contracting period is anticipated to start on 27th October 2027 and will last until 26th October 2031.
