Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "TEC Partnership - Furniture for Classrooms" was initiated by TEC Partnership, a public authority in sub-central government, based in Grimsby, United Kingdom. The tender aimed to furnish 11 classrooms across multiple locations including the Grimsby Institute, Scarborough TEC, Flemingate East Riding College, and Bridlington East Riding College. The procurement process employed an open competition method below threshold, focusing on the goods category of school furniture. The tender process concluded with an award on March 24, 2026, with Emergent Crown Contract Office Furnishings Ltd, an SME located in Halifax, as the chosen supplier. The contract is valued at £39,395.10, starting on May 8, 2026, and ending on July 31, 2026. Key dates included the tender period end on March 2, 2026, and future contract signature by May 7, 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying educational furniture, especially those able to provide cost-effective pricing and efficient delivery services. The requirements stipulated itemised pricing, a five-year warranty on all products, and waste removal responsibility, creating potential avenues for companies that can meet these comprehensive needs. SMEs, in particular, have shown competitiveness, with six of the thirteen final bids coming from smaller enterprises. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience, successful project delivery, and competitive pricing would be well-suited to engage in similar tenders, helping to bolster their credentials and expand their presence in the educational furniture market.
