Summary of the contracting process

Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland, known as the Care Inspectorate, procured a single-supplier framework for working-from-home furniture. The requirement covers the supply and delivery of desks, chairs and monitor arms, installation in staff homes, and the collection and storage of items when they are moved from those homes. The work is associated with office furniture and is classified under CPV 39130000. Delivery is across Scotland, with the buying organisation based in Dundee. This is a goods procurement, but the scope also requires practical installation, collection, storage and household delivery services. It therefore suits furniture suppliers, office equipment distributors and logistics or installation businesses able to manage the complete movement and setup of workplace furniture for dispersed staff.

The procurement is complete: the Care Inspectorate appointed Langstane Press as the sole supplier. The contract was awarded and signed on 10 September 2026. The framework runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, giving a possible end date of 13 September 2030. Its estimated maximum value over the full framework life is £140,000 excluding VAT. The route was an open procedure, with electronic bids and no variants allowed. Five bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The framework permits one participant. The tender records recurrence in May 2030, indicating a future procurement milestone associated with the requirement. Electronic payment is provided for under the contract.

This award shows that the Care Inspectorate buys a managed homeworking-furniture service rather than furniture supply alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable desks, chairs and monitor arms, together with the capacity to deliver to individual staff homes across Scotland. It would also need reliable installation teams, collection arrangements and storage facilities for furniture being returned or redeployed. The successful supplier was an SME, and all five recorded bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be approached by smaller businesses as well as larger office-furniture companies. Relevant strengths include coordinated fulfilment, stock and storage control, safe in-home delivery, installation quality, and the ability to support a dispersed workforce through a single service arrangement.
