UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Watford Borough Council is buying furniture for its refurbished Watford Town Hall. The requirement covers supply, delivery, assembly and installation across the Customer Service Centre, meeting and interview rooms, waiting areas, self-service facilities and staff offices. It includes office and other furniture, particularly seating and related products. The furniture must be durable and accessible, meet the operational needs of each space and complement the character of the Grade II listed building. The supplier is responsible for protecting the building and newly refurbished areas during delivery and installation. Work is for Watford Town Hall in Watford, Hertfordshire.

The Council invited quotations through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. It is a single-lot procurement. The deadline for questions was 10 November 2026 at 17:00; offers were due by 19 November 2026 at 13:00. The contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 11 February 2027. Furniture must be fully installed and ready for use by 15 February 2027. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives quality a 55% weighting and price 45%.

This requirement is suited to furniture suppliers able to source and recommend durable, accessible products for a mix of public-facing and staff spaces. The Council welcomes alternative products, dimensions or configurations where they better meet the needs of a room or offer a more cost-effective solution. Suppliers need to manage the full delivery and installation, coordinate work across multiple areas, and protect a Grade II listed building and its refurbished interiors. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Quality carries more evaluation weight than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their proposed furniture meets the specification and works for the intended spaces.
