This procurement aims to provide a furniture solution to convert space into a staff common room. The procurement falls under the "goods" category and was conducted through a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The process has reached the award stage, with all related activities completed. The contract was signed on 8th June 2026 and is active from 15th June 2026 to 13th July 2026, with a gross value amounting to £52,738.89.
