UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured an office furniture relocation service for the move from Woodlands to Priory Court. The requirement covers the complete operation: disassembling office furniture, transporting it, storing it, and reassembling it at the destination. The work is classified as a service, with storage and retrieval services identified as the relevant activity. It relates specifically to National Highways’ own workplace relocation rather than the supply of new furniture or a general facilities-management arrangement. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham. The named locations are Woodlands and Priory Court, which define the move covered by the requirement. The supplier must therefore manage furniture handling and logistics across the full relocation process, including temporary storage and subsequent reinstatement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to New Image Office Design, a Peterborough-based SME. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering the complete relocation service. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 1 October 2026. Its value is £31,898.50 excluding VAT, or £38,278.20 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and placed through a non-competitive route, so there was no open tender stage for competing suppliers. The procurement covers services rather than works or goods, with storage and retrieval services used as the activity classification. New Image Office Design is the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand from National Highways for managed office-furniture relocations that combine physical handling, transport, storage and reassembly in one service. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need to coordinate the full end-to-end operation rather than provide only removals, warehousing or installation. Relevant capability includes safely dismantling and rebuilding office furniture, protecting and tracking items during movement, providing suitable storage, and managing the sequence from departure site through to reinstatement. A credible competitor would also need the operational capacity, vehicles, equipment, storage arrangements and staff to handle a public-sector workplace move as a single managed project. New Image Office Design’s SME status shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business, provided it can demonstrate reliable logistics, careful furniture handling and effective coordination with the buyer.
