Summary of the contracting process

Queen Margaret University in Musselburgh has recently completed the procurement process for the "Furniture Replacement - Future Spaces" project. This open procedure aimed to supply and deliver new furniture as part of the Future Spaces refurbishment initiative, targeting the Creative Learning Space and the Learning Resource Centre on the university's campus. The notice was officially issued on 24th July 2024, and the awarded contract was signed on the same date. The project falls under the 'goods' category within the Education sector and is part of efforts to modernise facilities and enhance the student experience. The procurement process entailed a public, open bidding method, and the refurbishment project is significant for adapting to changes in technology and teaching pedagogy to optimise learning spaces effectively.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture manufacturing, supply, and installation, particularly those with a focus on educational environments. SMEs such as Claremont Office Furniture, which secured the contract valued at GBP 151,232, demonstrate the potential for growth through such public procurement opportunities. Companies that can provide innovative furnishing solutions that cater to modern educational needs, actively contribute to the academic sector, and support sustainable development would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The project signifies crucial demand surges, especially in educational infrastructure improvements, offering long-term business stability and growth.

Notice Title

Furniture Replacement - Future Spaces

Notice Description

Procurement for the supply and delivery of furniture connected with the Future Spaces refurbishment project.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Future Spaces is a refurbishment project that aims to modernise existing areas within the QMU campus. The current phase of works will target the Creative Learning Space and the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). Impetus for the project can be attributed to changes in equipment, technology, academic portfolio, and teach pedagogy impacting on the functional suitability of the current arrangements. This risk's limiting the realisation of a richer educational experience and leading to sub-optimal design and delivery of learning and teaching. Following review and consultation, opportunities were identified that would optimise space utilisation in areas included within the scope of the project. It was evident that the adaptations and works proposed would enhance the student experience at the University, particularly in relation to current and future requirement. The supply and installation of new Furniture, Fixings and Equipment (FF&E) makes up a vital component of the refurbishment and should be delivered in conjunction with the broader project timeline.
