Summary of the contracting process

Hull College procured goods for its HSAD Funding Project under the NHS SBS Design, Furniture and Appliances 2 Framework Agreement. The requirement covers furniture, including office furniture, furnishings and domestic appliances, together with related cleaning products. The procurement is classified as goods rather than services or works. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. Hull College is the buying organisation and the requirement was handled as a funding project linked to the framework. The awarded supplier, Heaton Group, is based in Bradford. The scope is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and specialist suppliers able to provide a mixed range of furniture, furnishings, domestic appliances and cleaning products for a public-sector education customer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective, below-threshold route under the framework, using a direct award rather than a competitive process. Competition was not used. One lot was awarded to Heaton Group for £124,865.06 gross. The award date was 21 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 7 February 2028. The award and contract are active. The evaluation basis was the framework-based direct-award route, with the requirement treated as a below-threshold purchase. This outcome shows the buyer selected a single supplier for the complete lot, rather than dividing the requirement between multiple awarded suppliers.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers able to combine several product areas in one delivery capability: office and other furniture, furnishings, domestic appliances and cleaning products. A credible competitor for similar Hull College requirements would need reliable access to a broad product range, the operational capacity to fulfil a mixed goods order, and distribution arrangements covering delivery across the United Kingdom. Experience supplying public-sector or education customers would help demonstrate understanding of institutional purchasing, specification compliance and coordinated fulfilment. The route also shows the buyer uses the NHS SBS Design, Furniture and Appliances 2 Framework Agreement and a direct-award mechanism, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to, or an equivalent position within, the relevant framework route.
