Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council has successfully completed the public procurement process for the supply and delivery of specialist seating, as announced in this recently published award notice dated 30th June 2025. The contract, identified under GCC006209CPU, pertains to the procurement of goods in the "General public services" sector and falls under the CPV code 33196000. The procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure, indicative of a selective method, and took place in the UKM82 region, specifically Glasgow. The process culminated in February 2025 with the contract’s completion, with Accora Ltd being awarded the contract valued at an estimated £896,525, effective from 27th February 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on the production and distribution of specialist seating. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those adept at fulfilling highly specific procurement requirements, would find this sector appealing, especially given the selective procurement approach that was employed. The award to Accora Ltd highlights the potential for similar businesses to tap into public sector opportunities, expanding their market presence. The Council's flexible options clause may further allow awarded suppliers to offer additional non-core items, thus widening the scope for product offerings and business growth.

The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent. When sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (\"The Regulations\"). The Council is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sherriff Court of the Court of Session where a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of: or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.",
