Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, has successfully concluded the procurement process for the supply and installation of library shelving and associated products. This framework agreement, bearing the identifier CS27382, covers the essential provision for local authority services in Hampshire, with a financial commitment of £2.1 billion annually. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the framework will be operative from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2030. The procurement is set within the public sector domain, focusing on goods, specifically library furniture and shelving. This project is part of a strategic re-procurement initiative to continue delivering services efficiently. Businesses engaged in supplying such goods should note the significant opportunity this framework presents, extending beyond Hampshire to include other members of the Central Buying Consortium across several UK regions, with active contracts awarded on 10 April 2026.

This framework represents a substantial opportunity for SMEs, particularly those specialising in library furniture and shelving solutions. With contracts awarded to FG Library Products Limited from Milton Keynes, Rackline Limited from Newcastle Under Lyme, and TheDesignConcept Ltd from Bristol, this scheme supports diversified business collaborations and growth. Businesses that can provide high-quality, innovative library and shelving solutions are well-positioned to benefit from ongoing demand and collaboration within this extensive framework. Furthermore, the sustainable, multi-supplier model ensures resilience and supply continuity, allowing smaller firms access to significant public sector markets across varied geographical locations in the UK. This procurement underscores a transparent, fair approach, welcoming bids from suitable firms committed to fulfilling public services' challenging requirements efficiently.
