UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is buying furniture and related household equipment for operational and corporate use. The requirement covers two areas: temporary accommodation furniture, including beds, white goods and essential living-room furniture; and corporate furniture for use across the Council, including Occupational Health requirements. The goods category is furniture, furnishings and domestic appliances (CPV 39000000). Delivery is required across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. Suppliers may therefore need to support Council requirements across a broad geographic area rather than a single Bristol site. The Council is the buying organisation and intends to appoint suppliers for both accommodation-related and workplace furniture needs.

The procurement has reached tender: Bristol City Council invited offers using an above-threshold open procedure. It is divided into two lots. Lot 1 covers temporary accommodation furniture, with a gross value of £2,880,000; Lot 2 covers corporate and Occupational Health furniture, with a gross value of £480,000. The overall estimated value is £2,800,000 excluding VAT, or £3,360,000 including VAT. Enquiries closed on 20 August 2026 at 12:00 and bids were due by 3 September 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was based on price, quality and social value: Lot 1 weighted these at 60%, 21% and 19%; Lot 2 at 60%, 25% and 15%. Contracts were planned from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with a possible 12-month extension to 30 October 2030. Award was due by 1 October 2026.

This opportunity suits furniture suppliers with the range and capacity to provide both domestic accommodation items and workplace furniture. Lot 1 is relevant to businesses supplying beds, white goods and essential living-room furniture for temporary accommodation. Lot 2 suits suppliers of corporate furniture, including products suitable for Occupational Health requirements across Council services. The requirement may be suitable for a supplier specialising in one lot or able to cover both, although the tender is structured separately by area of need. Strong delivery and fulfilment capability across England will be important, given the geographic coverage. Businesses able to demonstrate product quality, reliable supply, responsive distribution and meaningful social value commitments should be well placed against the stated evaluation criteria. The opportunity is particularly relevant to established furniture manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and installation or delivery providers.
