UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council intends to procure domestic furniture for residents receiving crisis support. The work covers supplying, delivering, assembling and installing furniture across residential accommodation in the Borough of Walsall. Items must meet the Council’s and residents’ needs for quality, durability and value for money. This is a goods contract with an installation service, rather than a purchase of furniture for a single named site. Suppliers should be able to provide a comprehensive service across the borough, including getting furniture to accommodation and completing assembly and installation there.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Walsall Council has set out its intention to buy, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The Council plans to use a competitive tendering process and has arranged preliminary market engagement about the furniture requirement. The buyer’s stated engagement milestone is 19 October 2026; this is an expected engagement date, not a bid deadline. The planned contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2031. Its estimated value is £240,000 excluding VAT (£288,000 including VAT). The procurement is organised as one lot. Suppliers should treat these arrangements as planning information, rather than as a live tender or a final specification.

This procurement is likely to suit furniture suppliers able to deliver a joined-up supply, delivery and installation service for domestic furniture. Relevant capabilities include sourcing durable items, coordinating deliveries to multiple residential accommodation settings across Walsall, and assembling and installing furniture to meet residents’ needs. The Council says it is seeking qualified and experienced contractors and emphasises quality, durability and value for money, so suppliers should be ready to demonstrate a credible track record and the capacity to serve varied accommodation. The planned market engagement provides a chance for capable suppliers to inform the requirement before it reaches tender. Businesses that provide furniture only, without the ability to manage delivery and installation, may be less well placed to meet the stated scope. No particular accreditation is identified in the current plans.
