Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council bought domestic furniture and furnishings for delivery throughout Fife. The requirement was divided between reused products and new products, covering furniture supply through the Scotland Excel Domestic Furniture and Furnishings framework. This is goods procurement, classified under CPV 39000000. The buyer is Fife Council, based in Glenrothes. The reused-products lot concerned the supply of second-hand or reused furnishings, while the new-products lot covered newly supplied furniture and furnishings. Both formed part of the council’s additional purchasing under the existing framework, rather than a standalone requirement described in detail here. The opportunity is relevant to furniture suppliers able to serve council requirements across Fife, whether specialising in reused furnishings, new products, or both.

The procurement is complete and awards have been made under an open procedure using the Scotland Excel framework. The reported purchasing period ran from March 2021 to 31 August 2025; both contracts were signed on 1 March 2021. For reused products, Furniture Plus and Castle Furniture Project were awarded the contract, valued at £696,514.70. For new products, CF Services Ltd and The Furnishing Service were awarded the contract, valued at £7,130,038.30. These are separate lot awards and values. Each lot received two bids. The release identifies the lots as complete and the contracts as active. It does not publish evaluation criteria or describe eligibility requirements, so the award basis cannot be characterised beyond the open procedure and framework route.

This award shows recurring public-sector demand in Fife for both reused and new domestic furniture and furnishings, delivered through the Scotland Excel framework. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would be able to supply the relevant product range reliably across the council area and operate at the respective scale of reused-furniture or new-furniture provision. The reused-products award involved two suppliers and indicates a route for specialist reuse businesses as well as furniture providers. The substantially larger new-products lot points to scope for suppliers with broad product availability and the capacity to fulfil a larger supply requirement. Two bids were received for each lot, including bids from small and medium-sized suppliers, showing that smaller firms participated alongside larger suppliers. The award provides a practical benchmark for the buyer’s purchasing mix and supplier arrangements.
