UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council’s Exams department in Uzbekistan required a furniture supplier. The requirement covered ready-to-use furniture and custom furniture manufacturing services for its examination operations. The work involved supplying furniture to Uzbekistan, with the named supplier based in Tashkent. The procurement was categorised as goods, specifically furniture. This opportunity would suit businesses able to combine the supply of standard, usable furniture with the design and manufacture of bespoke items. It is relevant to furniture manufacturers, commercial furniture suppliers, office and examination-centre fit-out businesses, and firms with delivery capability in Uzbekistan. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority headquartered in London, procuring for its Uzbekistan-based Exams department.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot, covering the furniture requirement, and the contract was awarded to Ergo furniture. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 29 June 2031. Its value is £44,643 excluding VAT and £50,000 including VAT. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome identifies Ergo furniture as the selected supplier for the furniture lot. The contract includes agreed measures for delivery time and quality of goods, indicating that both timeliness and the standard of supplied furniture form part of performance expectations.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from the British Council’s Exams department in Uzbekistan for both standard furniture and bespoke manufacture. A credible future competitor would need to supply ready-to-use furniture reliably, develop custom designs or manufacture to specification, and deliver into Uzbekistan. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller specialist business rather than limited to a major national contractor. Suppliers should be able to manage product quality consistently and meet agreed delivery times, while combining manufacturing or sourcing capability with dependable local or international logistics. Furniture businesses experienced in commercial, office or examination environments would be well placed to develop a relevant offer when this requirement returns.
