Summary of the contracting process

The contract for the supply and delivery of loose furniture for the New Build Dumfries High School has been awarded by Dumfries and Galloway Council. This project is part of the Dumfries Learning Town initiative aimed at enhancing educational infrastructure, with the school scheduled for completion by 10th April 2026. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract, valued at £430,872.90, was signed on 26th August 2025. The purchasing organisation, Dumfries and Galloway Council, aimed to appoint a single supplier under the SXL Education & Office Furniture Framework, with delivery scheduled in Dumfries, UKM92.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in educational or office furniture, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects. Given that only one large supplier, Sharp Business Systems UK Plc, was awarded the contract, this underscores the scope for other well-suited businesses to review and participate in similar future tenders. The focus on quality and price criteria, set at 30% for quality and 70% for price, provides a beneficial framework for competitive tendering, thereby encouraging businesses to offer both cost-effective and high-quality solutions to public procurement needs.
