The supplier would provide furniture and household goods, invest the capital needed to supply them, and operate the service on a managed basis. Deliveries would be to domestic addresses throughout Fife. The requirement is for a service combining the provision of household furnishings with ongoing management, rather than a purchase of furniture alone. This is an early planning and market-research exercise, not an invitation to tender. Fife Council is seeking supplier input to inform a possible procurement exercise within the next 12 months. The buyer’s stated estimated value is £400,000. Suppliers interested in providing information were asked to complete the attached questionnaire and return it by 16 October 2026; pricing is not requested. The buyer’s indicative date for a subsequent notice is 11 January 2027. No procurement procedure or evaluation basis is set out at this stage, and the information request does not guarantee that work will be awarded. This will be most relevant to furniture-rental and furnished-accommodation providers able to combine investment in furniture and household goods with a managed service and deliveries to homes across Fife. Suppliers should consider whether they can finance the required stock and provide the operational capacity to manage supply and delivery across multiple domestic locations. The Council is gathering market information to shape a possible future procurement, so businesses with relevant service models can use the questionnaire to explain how they could meet the requirement. This is preparation and market engagement only; it is not a bid opportunity at this stage. ## Notice Fife Council is exploring the option of undertaking a procurement exercise within the next 12 months to appoint a Contractor capable of meeting the needs of the Council in relation to delivering a furnished tenancy/furniture rental solution whereby the supplier provides the required capital investment for furniture and household goods and operates a managed service model. As part of the early development process the Council is seeking information from the marketplace. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Delivery of a furnished tenancy/furniture rental solution whereby the supplier provides the required capital investment for furniture and household goods and operates a managed service model. Deliveries would be required to various domestic locations throughout Fife. Additional information: Suppliers should note that this Request for information (RFI) does not guarantee any work. It is issued solely for market research purposes and is a Request for Information, not an Invitation to Tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/090970-2026 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Jan 2027 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Fife Council | | Locality | GLENROTHES | | Postcode area | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY7 5LT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Glenrothes Central and Thornton | | Westminster constituency | Glenrothes and Mid Fife | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 39000000 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 39140000 - Domestic furniture - 39143000 - Bedroom, dining room and living-room furniture - 50850000 - Repair and maintenance services of furniture ## Release History - 25 Sep 2026 at 12:46 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/090970-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.fife.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000841019 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=841019 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00187 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
