Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council established a multi-supplier framework for household goods and associated services for properties in Milton Keynes. The scope covers the supply and installation of white goods and domestic electrical appliances; the supply, delivery and installation of household furnishings, including beds; emergency-only bed provision; and the supply, delivery and installation of flooring. The procurement is divided into four areas: white goods and appliances, beds, emergency-only beds, and flooring. It is a goods requirement covering domestic appliances, bedroom furniture and floor coverings. Each area uses a primary and secondary supplier, so the Council can place orders with the primary supplier first and use the secondary supplier if the primary cannot meet supply requirements or timescales.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Awards were made on 28 July 2026: Family Fund Trading Limited and My Student Essentials Ltd for white goods, valued at £500,000 net (£600,000 gross); Family Fund Trading Limited and FMS Interior Services Ltd for beds, valued at £50,000 net (£60,000 gross); the same suppliers for emergency-only beds, also £50,000 net (£60,000 gross); and Family Fund Trading Limited and Crown Flooring Limited for flooring, valued at £150,000 net (£180,000 gross). The awarded framework contracts run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a one-year extension option. The white-goods award has a standstill period ending 7 August 2026; signature is scheduled for 31 August 2026. Bids were assessed 60% on price and 40% on quality. The original tender deadline was 23 March 2026, with award decisions due by 13 April 2026.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Milton Keynes City Council for suppliers able to provide, deliver and install household goods in occupied or otherwise managed properties. Relevant businesses include domestic-appliance distributors and installers, bedroom-furniture and bed suppliers, emergency-response furniture providers, flooring contractors and carpet or floor-covering suppliers. Credible competitors need dependable product sourcing, delivery capacity, installation capability and the operational resilience to meet required timescales, particularly where a primary supplier cannot fulfil an order. The framework structure suits businesses able to support a secondary-supplier role as well as those capable of taking primary orders. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, and the awarded suppliers show that specialist suppliers can compete by lot. Strong quality evidence alongside competitive pricing would be important when this Council next tests the requirement.
