UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation recently concluded a procurement process with an award for office chairs, benefiting from UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity. Located in Swindon, the procurement sought goods within the office furniture category under a limited competition method, deemed below the threshold. The procurement stage marked an award on 20 February 2026, with the contract actively spanning until 25 February 2026. This limited competition approach highlights a focused and expedited procurement strategy within UK central government frameworks.

This procurement for office chairs presents potential opportunities primarily for office furniture suppliers, particularly those equipped to meet specific government standards and requirements. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing and supplying this type of furniture can benefit from similar future procurements by establishing competitive prices and quality standards. With John Pulsford Associates Ltd securing this contract, businesses with comparable capabilities in delivering quality furniture in compliance with central government standards might find openings in future tenders within the public authority sector.
