## Summary

The University of Edinburgh procured the supply and installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the major refurbishment of the Queen’s Medical Research Institute in Edinburgh. The requirement covered four areas: chairs, desks, storage and a meeting pod. This is a furniture supply and installation opportunity, with the main classification covering office and institutional furniture (CPV 39130000). The procurement was intended to support the refurbishment project while achieving value for money and the University’s sustainability and circular-economy objectives. Delivery and installation are in Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh is the buying organisation, and the appointed supplier is Wagstaff Interiors Group, an SME based in Loanhead, Midlothian.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wagstaff Interiors Group through an open procedure under the APUC FFE1017-AP Sustainable Furniture Framework, Lot 3, Circular Economy Solutions. Four awards were made separately: chairs, desks, storage and meeting pod. The contracts were signed on 3 August 2026 and run from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2029, with no extension option. Contract values including the permitted additional-purchase provision are £162,612.54 for chairs, £85,213.61 for desks, £46,499.61 for storage and £38,465.25 for the meeting pod, all excluding VAT. The initial values were £108,408.36, £56,809.07, £30,999.74 and £25,643.50 respectively. Each lot allows additional furniture purchases of up to 50% of its initial value, subject to approval and need.

This award shows that the University of Edinburgh buys complete furniture packages for major capital refurbishment projects, combining product supply with installation. Suppliers seeking similar work would need credible capability across workplace and institutional furniture, including seating, desks, storage systems and meeting-pod solutions. The requirement also points to the importance of delivering sustainable and circular-economy outcomes through an established sustainable-furniture framework. A competitive supplier would benefit from the capacity to manage several furniture categories and coordinate delivery and installation in a live university setting. The successful business was an SME, while two or three bids were recorded for each lot, indicating that smaller specialist suppliers can compete when they can provide the required range and delivery capability.
