The requirement is for goods rather than construction or installation services. Delivery is across the North East of England. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of Bernicia and is recorded as the buying organisation for this process. The requirement may suit manufacturers, kitchen suppliers, distributors, merchants and specialist trade businesses able to provide coordinated kitchen products and arrange delivery across the region. The scope combines fitted-kitchen-related furniture and equipment with associated domestic appliances and bathroom or kitchen articles, making product range, reliable fulfilment and distribution capability central to supplying the requirement. This is a completed award following a direct award under the Framework for the Supply and Distribution of Kitchens, reference DN679290. The direct award was made on 31 March 2026 to Joinery & Timber Creations (65) Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, for £973,769.40. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2036. The earlier tender period had a submission deadline of 30 March 2026 at 23:59. The procurement used the direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the published outcome records the selected supplier and awarded value. The contract concerns goods, with delivery across the North East of England, and is suitable for SMEs. This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for kitchens and associated products from a regional housing-related buyer. A credible future competitor would need to supply kitchen furniture and equipment, domestic appliances, and related kitchen or bathroom articles as a coherent range, rather than offering only a single product line. It would also need dependable distribution arrangements capable of serving the North East, with sufficient operational capacity to manage repeat orders, stock availability, delivery coordination and customer requirements over a long-running supply relationship. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business with an appropriate product portfolio and fulfilment network. Relevant businesses should assess their kitchen supply, logistics and contract-management capability against this benchmark. ## Notice Bernicia seeks to appoint a Supplier for the supply and distribution of kitchens.
