UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together for Children Sunderland Limited bought bulk furniture to furnish The White House residential service. The requirement is for goods rather than construction or professional services, covering miscellaneous furniture for a residential setting. Delivery is in Sunderland, within the North East of England. The buyer is a public authority company responsible for this residential service. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the furniture supplied to support the furnishing and operation of The White House. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors or specialist contract-furniture suppliers able to provide bulk quantities for residential accommodation and deliver them to Sunderland. The requirement is buyer-specific and focused on furnishing one named residential service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One supplier was selected: Pineapple Contracts Unlimited. The award date and contract signature date were 7 September 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 October 2026, covering a one-month supply period. Its value is £39,998.15 excluding VAT, or £47,997.78 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. There was one completed lot covering the furniture requirement. The stated evaluation route was a direct, non-competitive below-threshold purchase rather than an open tender. The award covers miscellaneous furniture for delivery in Sunderland and is associated with the White House residential service.

This completed purchase demonstrates demand from Together for Children Sunderland Limited for a substantial, concentrated furniture supply to equip residential accommodation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to source or manufacture miscellaneous furniture at bulk scale, coordinate a complete furnishing package and deliver reliably to a named residential service in Sunderland. The appointed supplier, Pineapple Contracts Unlimited, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was within the commercial reach of an SME rather than limited to a major national group. Suppliers should therefore be able to manage a short, defined delivery programme, handle public-sector purchasing arrangements and provide a dependable furniture range suited to residential use.
