Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College procured classroom and educational furniture for delivery across all of its college campuses in Liverpool. The requirement covers furniture supply rather than construction or installation works, and is classified as CPV 39100000. The buyer is an education body with campuses served across the Liverpool area. The procurement was arranged through the CPC furniture and associated services framework, with the stated route being a direct award. This indicates a requirement for a supplier able to provide education-sector furniture and coordinate deliveries to multiple college sites. The selected supplier, MPS UK Group Ltd, is based in Cheshire and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement relates to goods supplied across the buyer’s campus network.

This procurement has reached the award stage. MPS UK Group Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. The contract value is £200,000 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 11 September 2026. The planned contract duration was 360 days, with no renewal or additional purchasing options. The process used a selective procurement method described as a restricted procedure, while the requirement was made through a direct award under the CPC furniture framework. Bids were submitted electronically in English and evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded. The tender lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active; the available outcome data therefore identifies MPS UK Group Ltd as the selected supplier.

This outcome demonstrates demand from The City of Liverpool College for a substantial, coordinated supply of classroom and educational furniture across multiple campuses. A credible future competitor would need a broad education-furniture range, reliable stock or manufacturing capacity, and the logistics capability to schedule deliveries across a college estate rather than a single site. Price competitiveness is central because the recorded evaluation basis was price. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through the CPC furniture and associated services framework and support electronic procurement processes in English. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist with sufficient capacity, framework access and multi-site fulfilment capability, rather than only by a large national furniture business.
