Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured education and office furniture for its services, including general furniture, school furniture, seats and other office furnishings. The requirement covers goods classified under CPV 39100000, with related categories for school furniture, seats and miscellaneous furniture. Delivery and use are associated with the Scottish Borders area, with the council headquartered at Newtown St Boswells. The purchasing route was through the Scotland Excel Education and Office Furniture framework, supporting furniture supply to council establishments. The awarded supplier, Langstane Press Limited, is based in Aberdeen and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This is a goods requirement for suppliers able to provide a broad range of education and office furniture through a public-sector framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure using the Scotland Excel Education and Office Furniture framework. The award date is 1 April 2026, and Langstane Press Limited was selected as the supplier after one bid was recorded. The contract is active and has a recorded value of £85,066.98. The procurement description breaks the spend into two periods: £18,550.67 from 1 September 2021 to 30 November 2025, and £66,516.31 from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2029. The requirement was published as cumulative framework call-off spend, so price and quality weightings did not apply to this award record. It covered one completed lot and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award shows that Scottish Borders Council buys education and office furniture through a Scotland Excel framework rather than through a standalone tender. Suppliers seeking comparable council work would need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to supply several furniture categories, including school furniture, seating and general office furnishings. The successful business was an Aberdeen-based SME, indicating that a smaller specialist supplier can fulfil the requirement. A credible competitor would need dependable public-sector order fulfilment, a product range broad enough for education and office settings, and the operational capacity to support council requirements over a multi-year arrangement. The single recorded bid also makes this a useful example of a focused framework call-off for furniture suppliers monitoring Scottish Borders Council demand.
