Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has procured domestic furniture and furnishings for use across the Scottish Borders. The requirement covers the supply of household and domestic furniture, including kitchen, bedroom, living-room and other household furnishings, together with associated household equipment. The main classification is CPV 39140000 for domestic furniture. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or services contract. The purchasing organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority, and the goods are for council requirements in the Scottish Borders area. The opportunity is relevant to furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and specialist furnishing businesses able to supply a broad range of domestic products to a public-sector buyer through an established purchasing arrangement.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. It was a call-off from the Scotland Excel Domestic Furniture Frameworks, recorded under an open procedure. The published spend covers the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. CF Services Ltd was awarded GBP 121,747.45, while The Furnishing Service Limited was awarded GBP 349,296.87; these are separate awards and must not be treated as one supplier's value. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The arrangement has one completed lot. Price and quality award weightings did not apply to this publication because it reports cumulative spend under the collaborative framework rather than a new competition. The contract is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand from Scottish Borders Council for a wide domestic furniture and furnishings range, delivered through the Scotland Excel framework route. Competitors would need the capability to supply several furniture categories rather than a narrow single product line, manage council orders reliably and support delivery across the Scottish Borders. The two successful suppliers were SMEs, showing that the requirement can suit established specialist or regional businesses as well as larger distributors. A credible future supplier would need proven public-sector or framework-channel fulfilment, dependable stock and sourcing arrangements, consistent product quality, accurate order handling and sufficient operational capacity to serve ongoing call-off demand. Familiarity with collaborative procurement frameworks would also be important.
