The goods category is office furniture (CPV 39130000). Lot 1 covers sourcing, supplying, delivering and installing office furniture for Gentoo workplaces. Lot 2 covers sourcing, supplying and delivering specialist display screen equipment recommended after workstation assessments, with each request arising from assessments carried out by Gentoo Group’s ergonomist. This is a goods procurement serving Gentoo’s establishments, with requirements spanning standard workplace furniture and equipment tailored to individual workstation and ergonomic needs.

Enquiries had to be submitted by 16 September 2026 at 11:00, and bids by 18 September 2026 at 11:00. Evaluation was 70% commercial price and 30% quality for each lot. The estimated value is £333,332, with a gross value of £400,000. Lot 1 is estimated at £166,666 (£200,000 gross); Lot 2 is estimated at £166,666 (£200,000 gross).

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide end-to-end workplace furniture services, including product sourcing, supply, delivery and installation. Lot 1 is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It may suit office furniture manufacturers, dealers, installers and distributors with the capacity to support new and existing establishments. Lot 2 suits suppliers of specialist display screen equipment able to respond to recommendations from workstation and ergonomic assessments, and to supply equipment for individual workplace requirements. Businesses should be able to deliver consistent quality alongside competitive pricing, as price carries the greater evaluation weighting.
