## Summary

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is managing the public procurement process for the contract titled "NEPO411 Supply of Furniture", aimed at supplying a range of office, educational, and residential furniture. This procurement falls under the goods category and has an estimated total value of £6,000,000, with a minimum value of £3,000,000. The tender period concluded on 22 December 2016, with contract performance expected to commence from 1 March 2017 and end on 31 August 2021. The items are to be delivered across various locations including Civic Buildings and Social Housing throughout the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises to supply essential furniture to public bodies. Businesses offering educational and office furniture products, especially those with capacity for large-scale supply and delivery, will find this a fitting competition. The extension of the existing framework agreements, particularly in response to COVID-19, underscores the immediate need for suppliers who can meet urgent procurement requirements efficiently to support local councils and educational establishments.

## Notice

The Association of North East Councils Limited trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking tenders for the Framework for the Supply of Furniture. This Framework will cover Office and Educational Furniture and Residential and Domestic Furniture. This Furniture is to be supplied to a variety of locations including Civic Buildings, Education Establishments and Social Housing. Additional information: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, NEPO believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the framework agreement. NEPO have taken the decision to extend the existing framework agreements that were due for reprocurement for a period of six (6 months). This is to enable NEPO resource to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. NEPO intends to deliver replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact.
