Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a sub-central government public authority based in Egham, UK, has completed a procurement process for furniture supplies. This tender titled "Furniture" falls under the goods category and was necessary to deliver supplies for the EWD building during the summer break, utilising the allocated budget before the end of the academic financial year. The direct procurement method, below threshold without competition, was used due to the urgency, and the contract was awarded on 16 June 2026, to be fulfilled by 31 July 2026. The primary supplier is SHOWCASE PSR PORTSDOWN LIMITED, and the contract value is £52,396.34 excluding VAT.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture supplies, especially those capable of meeting tight deadlines and budget constraints. SMEs like SHOWCASE PSR PORTSDOWN LIMITED were well-suited for this procurement due to flexibility and the ability to deliver products rapidly. Although the contract is complete, similar future opportunities for businesses adept in efficient project delivery within the public sector could arise, enabling them to partner with educational institutions or sub-central government authorities for growth.
