## Summary

Bield Housing & Care has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of hard and soft furnishings, accessories, and associated products across Scotland. This tender aimed to establish a single supplier to provide a comprehensive 'one stop shop' or 'turnkey' service, which will support Bield's planned furniture replacement programme and accommodate ad hoc requirements. The procurement was initiated using a selective method under a restricted procedure. Key dates include the contract signing on 23rd May 2017 and an initial contract period lasting 36 months, with the possibility of a further 24-month extension.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in furnishing and accessory supply, particularly those capable of providing a wide range of products and services consistently meeting Bield's specified standards. Companies with a proven track record in similar projects and those offering competitive pricing, alongside strong financial stability, are well-suited to compete in this process. Engaging in this contract could aid in expanding their market presence within the social care and housing sector in Scotland, contributing to sustained growth and additional revenue streams.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Background Bield Housing and Care is a not for profit organisation, Scottish Charity and Registered Social Landlord. Bield is one of the largest providers of Housing and Care in Scotland with just over 5300 properties and a number of Care Services across Scotland. Bield's Housing Services operates a replacement cycle in relation to furniture, which is replaced every 10 years on average. Normally each year around 8-12 developments have their furniture replaced, which equates to spend of approximately 150,000 GBP per annum. This is operated currently on a 'whole development' basis in order to generate maximum impact from the replacement programme. Bield's Housing Services also have guest rooms at the majority of locations; these are currently refurbished at the same time as the rest of the development. A review is underway to determine a standard for these guest rooms and therefore this may mean more frequent or ad hoc guest room requirements. The guest room budget currently is around 30,000 GBP per annum. Care Services take a slightly different approach as service users are strongly encouraged to bring their own furniture with them when they move into a Bield Care Home (assuming these comply with specific standards, for example in relation to fire safety). This helps service users to feel more familiar and at home. There is of course still a need to replace some furniture particularly in communal lounges and this is done on the basis of greatest need, decided on an annual basis. The current spend within Care Services is approximately 20,000 GBP per annum. In addition to the planned replacement programme there will be a need for replacement nad purchase of items on an ad hoc basis. Please note that the figures above are indicative only and are based on previous experience; however as with all organisations we have to review our budget annually and carefully consider all costs therefore we are unable to guarantee any specific level of expenditure. Future Contract Currently Bield have a contract with a single supplier to provide all items, this is due to expire at the end of March and therefore we are looking to procure a new contract to commence on 1 April 2017. The contract will be in place for an initial period of 36 months, and there will be the option to extend by up to a further 24 months in total. We will be looking to appoint a single supplier, to provide all of the products and services detailed below. In order to be considered to be invited to tender, the following conditions will apply: 1.
