Summary of the contracting process

Huntingdonshire District Council is buying 600 new mechanically interlocking audience chairs for Burgess Hall in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. The supply includes purpose-designed storage and transport trolleys compatible with the proposed chair system. The chairs must support two uses: tiered seating on temporary or semi-permanent level staging platforms, and flat-floor seating for conferences, corporate functions and other events. This is a furniture supply opportunity, including conference-room furniture (CPV 39100000 and 39153000). The requirement is for a complete chair and trolley system rather than chairs alone, so suppliers should be able to provide compatible equipment and arrange delivery to the venue. The buyer is Huntingdonshire District Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for the procurement and intended purchase.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were to be submitted electronically through the In-Tend portal by 12:00 on 23 July 2026; this deadline was extended from 20 July 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated overall value is £95,000 excluding VAT and £114,000 including VAT. The single lot is recorded with a value of AED 95,000, which conflicts with the overall GBP figures and should be checked in the procurement documents. Electronic submission is allowed. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria set out in the procurement documents. The procurement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist event-seating suppliers able to supply mechanically interlocking audience chairs at the required scale, together with purpose-designed storage and transport trolleys. Suppliers should have a chair system engineered for repeated configuration changes between tiered staging and flat-floor layouts, and should be able to demonstrate compatibility between the chairs and trolley equipment. Relevant experience in auditorium, conference, corporate or event seating would be useful, particularly where products must be moved, stored and redeployed regularly. The requirement is primarily for goods, so businesses with reliable production or distribution capacity and delivery capability for a complete system are well placed to compete. The council’s stated evaluation criteria and any technical, product, warranty or delivery requirements will be set out in the procurement documents.
