Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and delivery of complex seating and accessories for community equipment services. The requirement covers specialist seating supplied to the council, with the option to source non-core and additional items from the appointed supplier. Delivery is associated with Glasgow. The procurement sits within the council’s dynamic purchasing system for the supply, installation, repair and maintenance of community equipment, so the relevant market is specialist mobility, care and community equipment rather than general furniture. The goods classification is CPV 33000000, covering medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal-care products. This is a council requirement for equipment used to support community services, and may suit suppliers able to provide both the seating products and associated accessories through an established public-sector purchasing route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a restricted procedure within the council’s dynamic purchasing system. There was one lot, awarded to Careflex Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 14 August 2026. Its estimated value is £160,720, although the final value may be higher or lower because it is based on submitted rates. The council may also source non-core and additional items from the appointed supplier. Four bids were received; all four were from small or medium-sized enterprises, all were submitted electronically, and none came from EU bidders. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award relates to the single complex-seating and accessories requirement, rather than separate awards for different product groups.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Glasgow City Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for specialist complex seating and accessories delivered through a dynamic purchasing system for community equipment. A credible competitor would need a range of complex seating products, suitable accessories and the operational capability to supply them to a public-sector community-care buyer. The ability to offer non-core or additional equipment would strengthen coverage of the requirement. Suppliers should also be comfortable working through a restricted route within a dynamic purchasing system, submitting bids electronically and pricing against agreed rates. The competition attracted four bids, all from SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be contested by specialist smaller businesses as well as larger providers. Relevant capability therefore centres on specialist product knowledge, dependable supply and experience meeting public-sector purchasing requirements.
