## Summary

Solihull College and University Centre has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of furniture and related services, reflecting a vital procurement process within the education sector. This awarding follows an open procedure, with Charter Office Equipment Ltd selected as the supplier. Initially announced in a tender issued on 22 September 2025, the contract covers a wide range of furniture needs, extending from office provision to specific education-related requirements like laboratory and conference-room furniture. The award, valued at £750,000, was formally made on 12 January 2026, with the contract commencing on 1 February 2026 for a term lasting until January 2029, with options to extend. The successful supplier will provide not just the supply of furniture but also project management and installation services across college sites located in Solihull, West Midlands.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs skilled in furniture supply and services tailored to educational needs. Given the scope of the contract, organisations offering bespoke solutions in modular, conference-room, computer, and school furniture can particularly benefit. Businesses with the capacity for detailed project management and comprehensive installation services will find this contract advantageous, allowing them to demonstrate their resourcefulness in handling diverse requirements. Moreover, the completion of this contract can leverage future opportunities as further renewals and ad hoc refurbishments are likely, stimulating ongoing engagement and collaboration with the College.

## Notice

The contract for provision of furniture and associated services will cover typical requirements for a Further Education institution including but not limited to supply of operator chairs, desks, tambor units etc. The College may also have ad hoc capital requirements to refurbish key areas of the College sites i.e. conference centre, specialist workshop / laboratory furniture, refectory and break out study areas - tendering organisations must therefore have the capacity to provide project management and installation services as part of the provision.
