## Summary

The University of Worcester bought furniture for the Peirson Building at its St John’s Campus in Worcester. The requirement covers the building’s two floors: the ground-floor FirstPoint student support hub, which advises current and prospective students, and first-floor silent and open-plan study areas. The purpose is to improve or create a welcoming, inclusive and comfortable environment for students and staff. The main category is furniture, including office furniture. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the NWUPC framework, FFE3158, Lot 1. Delivery is associated with the University’s Worcester campus and the Peirson Building, postcode WR2 6AJ. The opportunity concerns the supply of goods for educational, student-support and study environments rather than construction or general facilities services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure and a mini-competition under the NWUPC framework. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 11:56. The contract was awarded to Elite Furniture on 13 August 2026 for £87,388.20 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. The contracting organisation is the University of Worcester. The award is recorded as active, and the supplier is the sole named award recipient. The published procurement information identifies furniture and office furniture as the relevant categories. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This requirement is most relevant to established furniture suppliers able to equip university interiors across different types of student and staff space. A credible future competitor would need a range covering welcoming student-support settings, silent study areas and larger open-plan study environments, with products suitable for an inclusive and comfortable public-facing education setting. The work demonstrates demand for coordinated furniture supply through a recognised university purchasing framework and a restricted mini-competition route. Suppliers should therefore be capable of meeting framework participation requirements, responding to structured competition exercises and delivering a coherent scheme across multiple rooms or floors. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the buyer positioned this procurement for larger or more established suppliers rather than smaller organisations competing independently.
