Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the Provision of Furnishings and Shelving for Cadbury Heath Library, located in Bristol, United Kingdom (UKK12). The procurement is focused on the goods category, specifically library furniture, with a total gross contract value of GBP 65,612.64. This project aims to modernise the library to create a flexible and inclusive space, supporting activities such as skills development, well-being initiatives, and literacy programmes. The procurement process followed a 'limited' method for below-threshold competition, with a contract awarded on 8th July 2026. The anticipated contract period starts on 22nd July 2026 and concludes on 31st December 2026.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the furniture and interior design industry. FG Library Products Limited, an SME based in Milton Keynes, successfully secured the contract through this limited competition process, highlighting opportunities for similar businesses to engage in lower-threshold tenders that focus on quality and innovation in interior solutions. The modernisation of the library will help participating suppliers demonstrate expertise in creating multifunctional public spaces, which could open further avenues in public sector furnishing projects.
