These include but are not limited to: Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), Afghan Relocations and Assistant Policy (ARAP), UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), and Homes for Ukraine. We require a supplier to furnish homes for refugees. You will be responsible for sourcing, delivering, and installing all furniture, soft furnishings such as mattresses and linen, white goods, crockery, kitchen utensils, window coverings, and all other items included on the below inventory. All items must be in new condition, meet UK health and safety requirements, and be suitable for families with young children. Items will need to be delivered on agreed dates and placed in the correct locations. White goods such as cookers and washing machines should also be installed. Gas appliances must be installed by a registered Gas Safe tradesperson and certification must be provided. Qualified plumbers and electricians will also be required, and any other relevant certification must be provided. Due to the limited notice we are provided of refugee arrivals, you will be required to mobilise quickly and furnish homes within 10-working days of notification. To reduce pressure on your time as the supplier, and our officers time, it is required that most items will be delivered and installed on the same day. The size of properties will vary but will be mostly family homes. Our responsibilities to different refugee groups varies and there may on occasion be a requirement to provide specific items, or only window coverings. We would require the supplier to be flexible to this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a913a35b-f7c5-4f54-a159-b18897cb811e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jan 2025 - 5 Jan 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39000000 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ## Release History - 9 Sep 2024 at 13:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a913a35b-f7c5-4f54-a159-b18897cb811e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a913a35b-f7c5-4f54-a159-b18897cb811e 9th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=b18f91b2-4865-ef11-812e-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Cambridge City Council - Furnishings for Refugee Resettlement ## Notice URLs - https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
