## Summary

Nottingham Trent University procured specialist ergonomic furniture and equipment, tailored to individual end users’ needs, typically following an occupational health assessment. The purchase covers furniture and related equipment rather than a general furniture supply. Delivery is for the university in Nottingham. The requirement sits within the goods category and includes miscellaneous furniture and equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Back Care Solutions Limited. The university used a selective route to award through an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was awarded. The award was made on 1 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. Its value is £300,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, subject to satisfactory performance, potentially extending the term to 30 September 2030. The performance measures follow those set by the NEUPC framework provider.

This award shows demand at Nottingham Trent University for individually tailored ergonomic furniture and equipment linked to occupational health assessments. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need to assess end-user needs and provide appropriate specialist furniture and equipment, with the capacity to fulfil the associated supply and service requirements. Experience working with occupational health assessment recommendations would be directly relevant. The route used here was an award under an existing framework, so suppliers would also need access to a suitable purchasing framework to compete through the same route. Performance against the framework provider’s requirements matters, since satisfactory performance is a condition of the extension options.
