This procurement process is in the Tender stage, with submissions accepted until 20th May 2019. The framework agreement will facilitate purchases based on locality, availability, delivery capacity, quality, and price, enabling the council to support vulnerable individuals in the community. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1st July 2019 and will run until 30th June 2023, covering suppliers across the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in second-hand items, furniture delivery, or household goods. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited for this contract, provided they can demonstrate value for money and logistical capabilities, even if they cannot supply items across the entire region of Norfolk. This initiative not only promotes sustainable practices by reducing landfill waste but also supports businesses committed to social value, helping them to expand their market reach within the procurement landscape. ## Notice Norfolk County Council is seeking suppliers of furniture, white goods and other household items, with a particular focus on second-hand and refurbished household goods, that can supply goods for people helped under its Norfolk Assistance Scheme (NAS). The NAS is seeking suppliers of second-hand goods that can provide choice and also deliver goods to people unable to collect them. The NAS is aimed at assisting vulnerable people to set up home following family breakdown, resettlement into the community, homelessness, domestic violence and unforeseen crises. The council is keen to maximise its funding and reducing landfill by moving away from providing new goods and promoting the use of reused items wherever possible. This framework agreement will enable the authority to purchase furniture and other household goods whilst focusing on social value. This will be a framework agreement which will allow the council's NAS to call-off direct awards on the basis of locality, availability of goods, ability to deliver, quality and price. Please note that as this is a framework agreement there is no guarantee of work. Providers are not required to be able to cover the whole of Norfolk or be able to provide all items that may be required, but must be able to demonstrate that they are providing value for money.
