The objectives of the procurement are:

• Gain support from experienced furniture suppliers in identification of suitable furniture options for a number of buildings/ spaces outlined in detail within the requirements section below.

• Products need to promote productivity and wellbeing for staff utilising these spaces.

• Additional consideration to acoustic properties to be outlined where possible, particularly in relation to areas with call taking activity/ break out spaces in proximity to larger desk numbers.

• Products need to align to infrastructure such as power and lighting and our existing décor including carpets, wall colours/manifestations. A site visit would be preferred to advise on a suitable scheme which aligns to existing infrastructure. Floor plans and photographs are included within the requirements section, and we are also able to supply DWG files and additional visual images of the spaces.

• There is no requirement for furniture proposed to exactly match existing furniture at our sites, although each team has distinct needs an element of consistency across the areas would be welcomed.

• We ideally require full receipt of goods within 8 weeks or sooner of when the order is placed.

• Due to our current financial constraints within the authority, we are seeking best value on cost as well as quality. Quotations for products must be within the maximum budget limit of each area as outlined in the specifications. All costs should include delivery and installation

• Through the procurement we need to understand full product details including warranty information, lead times and product sheets.
