The purchase is for garden furniture, supplied across the organisation in the United Kingdom. The stated aim is to bring existing purchasing together under a single contract, using consolidated volumes to reduce administration and improve contract governance. Anchor also wants to standardise the furniture offering and establish a consistent, reliable supply across its business. This is a goods procurement, rather than a works or service contract. The planned arrangement is intended to cover the organisation as a whole, rather than a set of separately described product lots. The procurement is at the planning stage: Anchor has set out its intention to procure but has not yet invited bids. It expects the contract to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension taking the maximum period to 31 March 2032. The estimated total contract value is £1,885,000 including VAT; existing annual spend is approximately £377,000 including VAT. Anchor has planned pre-market engagement from 14 to 23 October 2026 to gather supplier insight ahead of the procurement. No procedure or evaluation basis is set out in the planning information, so these remain to be established as the procurement develops. The contract is planned as a single arrangement, rather than separate lots. This planned procurement is likely to suit garden furniture suppliers able to serve a buyer across its business through one contracted supply arrangement. Anchor is seeking input from qualified providers on current market capabilities, innovative service delivery models and best practice, so suppliers with relevant experience can help inform how the future procurement is shaped. The stated objectives point to an interest in consolidating purchasing, reducing administrative burden, strengthening contract governance and delivering standardised products with reliable supply. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, which may make it relevant beyond the largest national suppliers. Suppliers should consider whether they can support consistent supply at organisational scale and contribute informed views during the planned market engagement. ## Notice This procurement seeks to replace the current multi-supplier model for garden furniture with a single contracted supplier. Existing spend of approximately PS377k per annum (Inc VAT). By consolidating spend under one contract, Anchor aims to leverage purchasing volumes, reduce administrative overhead, improve contract governance, standardise product offerings, and secure a consistent and reliable supply of garden furniture across the business. ### Planning Information This pre‑market engagement aims to gather insight from qualified Garden Furniture providers to help shape an upcoming procurement process. The purpose is to understand current market capabilities, innovative service delivery models, and best‑practice approaches. Anchor plans to run a Pre-Market Engagement between 14/10/2026 - 23/10/2026. https://anchor.my.site.com/s/Welcome ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/097268-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,570,833 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Anchor Hanover Group | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Postcode area | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 2ST | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39142000 - Garden furniture ## Release History - 15 Oct 2026 at 09:11 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/097268-2026 - 14 Oct 2026 at 11:44 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096922-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/097268-2026 15th October 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096922-2026 14th October 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://anchor.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://www.anchor.org.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
