Summary of the contracting process

Bradford College, a public authority sub-central government entity located in Bradford, United Kingdom, has successfully completed its procurement process for furnishing the new Junction Mills building. This initiative, identified under tender ID CA17191, focuses on the acquisition of furniture and fittings. The procurement, guided by the Procurement Act 2023, was executed using a selective competitive flexible procedure. The award notice, published on 30th March 2026, indicates that the contract will be effective from 13th April 2026 to 31st December 2026. The final contract value is £188,046 excluding VAT, with Showcase PSR Portsdown Limited appointed as the supplier following a competitive bidding process involving four suppliers.

The tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in furniture supply, particularly those capable of meeting the college's precise quality, delivery, and project management requirements. This contract not only promises immediate business growth via a lucrative contract but also offers prolonged visibility in the educational sector, a dynamic and recurrent market for suppliers of educational furniture. Considering the procurement method and criteria like price, quality, social value, and after-sales support, businesses that excel in these areas are well-suited to both meet and exceed Bradford College's expectations, hence positioning themselves for future projects.
