UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College bought furniture for its Medicine Building. The requirement is categorised as furniture supply, covering the items awarded under a single lot. Delivery was in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery place. The purchasing organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, a public higher education institution. The available description states the purpose as furnishing the Medicine Building, without breaking the requirement into particular furniture types or setting out quantities. This is therefore relevant to furniture manufacturers, wholesalers and suppliers able to fulfil an institutional furniture order, rather than businesses whose work is limited to unrelated building services or medical equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Furniture 23 Limited. Royal Holloway used a direct award below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and ran from 27 August to 11 September 2026. Its value was £81,299 excluding VAT (£97,558 including VAT). The award covered one lot for furniture for the Medicine Building. The award date is not stated separately in the procurement details. No bid deadline, eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria are recorded; the direct award was made without a competitive process. The contract is active, and the award is active.

This purchase shows that Royal Holloway buys furniture for its buildings through direct awards as well as competitive procurement. Furniture 23 Limited, a small or medium-sized supplier, was selected to fulfil this requirement, demonstrating that the buyer’s order could be delivered by an SME. A supplier seeking to be credible for a similar requirement would need to provide furniture suited to a university building and manage delivery of an institutional order. The purchase relates specifically to furnishing the Medicine Building, so suppliers with experience serving educational institutions and coordinating furniture supply for a defined building project are relevant competitors. The procurement does not identify particular product specifications, capacity thresholds or accreditations as selection requirements.
