UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria University at Newcastle Upon Tyne procured glass meeting pods for its Coach Lane Campus. The requirement is for the supply of office furniture, specifically enclosed glass meeting spaces for use on the university campus. The buyer is a public university based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The award covers one lot and identifies the delivery country as the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or consultancy service. It will interest manufacturers, furniture suppliers, workplace specialists, office fit-out companies and interiors contractors able to supply glass meeting pods as a packaged furniture solution. Businesses whose offer is limited to general building works, unrelated facilities management or professional services are less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a below-threshold award from a framework; the process was not competitive at this stage. One completed lot was awarded to Wagstaff Bros Limited trading as Wagstaff Interiors Group. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £129,166 excluding VAT, or £155,000 including VAT. The award concerns office furniture and is linked to the supply of the glass meeting pods. The selected supplier is an SME. The published outcome therefore shows a short-duration, substantial furniture supply contract procured through a framework route rather than an open standalone competition.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Northumbria University’s workplace and campus-estate requirements. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to source or manufacture glass meeting pods, manage furniture supply and coordinate delivery to a university campus. Relevant experience in office interiors, workplace design, educational estates or commercial fit-outs would help demonstrate an understanding of meeting-space requirements and installation constraints. Suppliers should be able to present a reliable product range, manage a sizeable order within a short delivery programme and provide clear technical information for enclosed glass furniture. Smaller interiors businesses can be credible participants, as the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Framework access and experience supplying public-sector organisations would also be commercially relevant.
