## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service has completed a tender process for the "Provision of Ad-hoc Furniture Requirement" as part of the SAIF station improvement works and other capital projects, including Whitley Wood Training Centre. The procurement falls under the furniture industry category (CPV 39100000) and follows a call-off contract method. The buying organisation, based in Reading, England, aimed to secure a supplier for ad-hoc furniture needs over the next three years, starting from 16th December 2024 to 15th December 2027. The award stage was reached on 19th December 2024, with Access Office Furniture Solutions being chosen due to their capability to supply all required items at competitive pricing, making them the lowest bidder in a basket of goods evaluation approach. The contract value is set at £50,000.

This procurement provides an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the furniture supply sector, especially those capable of meeting diverse and ongoing furnishing requirements such as ad-hoc orders and comprehensive product lines. Companies like Access Office Furniture Solutions, which can fulfil the broad spectrum of items and offer competitive pricing, are well-suited to take advantage of such opportunities. Participating in this type of tender could enhance suppliers' market presence and secure long-term business growth through collaboration with public sector organisations like the Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service.

## Notice

During the next 3 years there is an anticipated need to ad-hoc furniture requirement at various fire stations as part as the SAIF station improvement works as well as other Capital Projects such as Whitley Wood Training Centre. As the value of the contract is less than PS50,000, the Authority has carried out a market research and acquired three quotes from the following suppliers to provide furniture. A quote request was sent to suppliers to provide based on the standard furniture requirements which we will be required on an ongoing basis during this period. Pricing was evaluated based on basket of goods of 21 items based on the Whitley Wood Training Centre fit out requirements. Access Office Furniture was the only supplier able to supply all items, as well as provided the lowest prices for the individual items available from all 3 suppliers. Due the to the ad-hoc nature of the requirement and difficulty in forecasting or estimating what will be needed in the span of 3 years, the basket of goods approach was adopted to complete pricing evaluation to award the contract on price only basis to the lowest bidder. Only Access Office could supply the Op Chairs as well as being the only supplier to provide all the furniture and have the full basket required by RBFRS.
