Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council is procuring a temporary accommodation framework for goods and associated services needed to prepare and turn around properties across Northamptonshire. The requirement is divided into three areas: supply and installation of white goods, including cookers and fridges; supply and installation of carpets and flooring; and supply of beds and mattresses. The work supports the furnishing and preparation of temporary accommodation properties for use. This is primarily a goods procurement, with installation and related services required for white goods, carpets and flooring. Suppliers may offer for one, two or all three areas. The council intends to appoint suppliers to each area, creating a coordinated source for accommodation-related equipment and fitting services.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement. Questions had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 17:00, and tenders by 30 September 2026 at 12:00. The council planned to complete award decisions by 20 November 2026. The framework is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an optional 12-month extension for each lot; the maximum stated extension date is 30 November 2030. The estimated total value is £900,000 excluding VAT and £1,080,000 including VAT. Lot values excluding VAT are £400,000 for white goods, £250,000 for carpets and flooring, and £250,000 for beds and mattresses. Each lot is scored 40% price and 60% quality, including social value. A maximum of three suppliers is envisaged for each lot, with direct awards to the highest-ranked supplier or competitive selection where appropriate.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to source, deliver and install domestic white goods, carpets and flooring, or beds and mattresses for temporary accommodation. Relevant businesses include appliance distributors and installers, flooring contractors, furniture and bedding suppliers, and firms with an integrated supply-and-installation service. The council has identified the lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Successful suppliers will need the operational capacity to support rapid property turnaround and to manage potentially increasing demand across the framework. The arrangement can provide repeat requirements through direct awards, while higher-volume or wider requirements may be competed among appointed suppliers. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate quality, delivery reliability, installation capability where relevant, and social value alongside competitive pricing.
