Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured office and ergonomic furniture through two requirements under the NEPO411 furniture framework. The office furniture requirement covered supply, delivery and installation for varied office settings, including reception, conference and dining areas, as well as home working. Products included seating, desks, tables, screens, monitor arms and storage, with bespoke solutions and associated services also within scope. The ergonomic requirement covered chairs, desks and accessories intended to support health, comfort and productivity, with supply, delivery and installation included. The ergonomic products were required to comply with relevant UK and international standards. Delivery is for South Tyneside, including the council’s area around South Shields.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded to POSTURITE LIMITED. The council made a direct, non-competitive award under the NEPO411 framework, using a below-threshold framework call-off route. The office furniture contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 August 2030; its value is £44,000 excluding VAT (£52,800 including VAT). The ergonomic furniture contract has the same signing date and contract period, and is separately valued at £44,000 excluding VAT (£52,800 including VAT). The procurement data links both awards to the same lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from South Tyneside Borough Council, this award shows demand spanning both general office and home-working furniture and ergonomic products. A credible supplier would need to offer a broad product range for different workplace settings, including seating, desks, storage and accessories, and be able to manage delivery and installation. Bespoke furniture solutions and services supporting home working formed part of the general office requirement. For ergonomic furniture, suppliers would need products that comply with relevant UK and international standards, alongside the ability to supply and install chairs, desks and accessories. The council used a direct call-off from a multi-lot furniture framework, so experience and capability aligned to the framework’s relevant categories would be pertinent.
