UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured furniture supply, delivery and installation through its NEPO411 framework. The requirement covered two areas: general office and home-working furniture, including seating, desks, tables, screens, monitor arms and storage, as well as reception, conference and dining furniture and bespoke solutions; and furniture for educational and library settings, serving nursery, early years, primary, secondary, higher and further education, including dining, library and bespoke solutions. Associated services were included in both areas. The contracted delivery location is South Tyneside, in the North East of England. The council is the buyer, and the requirement is for physical furniture and related installation rather than a standalone design or consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and both contracts are active. South Tyneside Borough Council made a direct award under the NEPO411 framework, using a selective, below-threshold route without a further competition. MANAGED WORK SPACE SOLUTIONS LTD was selected for both office and home-working furniture and educational and library furniture. Each contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 August 2030. Each has a stated value of £10,000 excluding VAT (£12,000 including VAT); these are separate contract values. The requirement was divided into two lots, one for each furniture area. The published procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis or bidder eligibility requirements.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future furniture requirements, the award demonstrates demand across both workplace and education environments, with supply, delivery and installation expected as part of the offer. A credible competitor would need a broad product range: office seating, desks, tables, screens, monitor arms and storage, alongside furniture for reception, conference and dining spaces, and home working. Education capability spans nursery through further education, as well as library and dining settings. The requirement also included bespoke furniture solutions and associated services, so suppliers should be able to respond across varied settings rather than focus on a narrow product line. This award was made directly through an established framework without a new competition, making framework access relevant to competing for the same type of council requirement.
