Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured library furniture and fittings for Cadbury Heath Library. The requirement covered the design of the internal layout, together with the supply and installation of shelving and furniture. The purpose was to modernise the library and create a flexible, inclusive space for its users. This is primarily a goods requirement, with associated installation and other services. The work is at Cadbury Heath Library in South Gloucestershire. The procurement included library furniture and general furnishing items, so relevant businesses include manufacturers, specialist library fit-out suppliers, furniture distributors and installers able to provide an integrated design, supply and installation service. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was handled as a single package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, FG Library Products Limited, was selected for the single package. The award was made on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 March 2027, with an extension of six months available if required, up to 1 September 2027. Its value is £54,677.20 excluding VAT, or £65,612.64 including VAT. The contract is active and is for the library furniture, furnishing, design and installation requirement described above. The award covered library furniture and furnishings, with both goods and associated services involved.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting future library refurbishment work for South Gloucestershire Council. Credible competitors would need to combine practical design capability with the manufacture or sourcing of library shelving and furniture, and the ability to install the equipment as part of a coordinated fit-out. The requirement also indicates that the council values spaces designed to be flexible and inclusive, so suppliers should be able to translate user and operational needs into an appropriate layout and furniture scheme. Businesses with experience delivering complete library or public-facing interior projects, managing supply and installation together, and working to an agreed refurbishment brief would be well placed when comparable requirements return to the market.
