UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council procured specialist loose furniture, fittings and equipment for Meadow View, a new adult care facility in Plymouth providing respite and day centre services. The requirement covered chairs, tables and bedroom furniture, making this a goods contract focused on furnishing an adult care setting. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work relates to its Meadow View facility in Plymouth. The scope would suit furniture manufacturers, suppliers, interiors specialists and commercial fit-out businesses able to provide furniture for care environments. The awarded supplier, EXPEDITE INTERIORS LTD, is based in Exeter and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was arranged as one completed lot.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Plymouth City Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, following approval of a procurement waiver. EXPEDITE INTERIORS LTD was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 16 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its awarded value is £84,958.06 excluding VAT, or £101,949.67 including VAT. The tender was recorded as complete, and the award relates to the single lot covering the Meadow View furniture, fittings and equipment requirement. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This award provides a clear indication of Plymouth City Council’s demand for specialist furniture for adult care facilities, including seating, tables and bedroom furnishings. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would have a dependable supply of these product categories and experience tailoring furniture packages to care, respite or day-centre settings. Credibility would also depend on showing that the business can coordinate a substantial, multi-category order and deliver it within the buyer’s required implementation window. Furniture manufacturers, commercial interiors suppliers, specialist care-sector furnishing companies and SMEs with comparable public-sector or care-environment experience are the closest competitors to study. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should monitor this buyer’s purchasing pattern and understand its procurement requirements.
