This initiative aims to explore options for trialling various furniture products that align with the council's future office model designs. Interested suppliers may submit their expressions of interest by September 23, 2021. The procurement process is intended for the office furniture industry and will be based in Leicester, United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for furniture suppliers, particularly those offering innovative and collaborative office solutions such as media booths, high-backed sofas, and study booths. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-equipped to compete in this process, as the council is seeking an array of products to trial without immediate commitment to purchase. Suppliers can establish valuable connections with the council, potentially leading to future procurement opportunities. ## Notice The Requirement Leicestershire County Council (LCC) are currently working with a design consultancy to develop some concepts for our future office model. As part of this work we are interested in exploring any opportunities to trial some different products from furniture suppliers, who may be interested in showcasing their products without any obligation to purchase (on a trial basis). This could be for a small area in one of our locality sites and/or as part of a larger pilot area at our main HQ. We are specifically interested in collaborative furniture options such as media booths, high backed sofas, and solo/study booths or similar concepts. How to submit EOI? As part of the expression of interest we would expect to see a copy of your product catalogue, any links to relevant websites and an outline indication of what you could potentially offer. Interested suppliers are invited to submit the above via EastMidsTenders Portal. https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1d84996-f10b-ec11-810d-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION At this stage LCC is seeking EOIs to establish what is available in the market. The procurement route for the potential future contract is to be confirmed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9e28ec2-aa33-480f-bb8d-39d5d66105ea | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Sep 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39130000 - Office furniture ## Release History - 2 Sep 2021 at 13:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9e28ec2-aa33-480f-bb8d-39d5d66105ea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9e28ec2-aa33-480f-bb8d-39d5d66105ea 2nd September 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1d84996-f10b-ec11-810d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1d84996-f10b-ec11-810d-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
