NEPO411 Furniture is a multi-supplier, multi-lot solution providing UK public sector organisations with a compliant route for the supply of furniture across a variety of settings.
The solution is split into three lots:
- Lot 1: Office Furniture
- Lot 2: Educational Furniture
- Lot 3: Domestic Furniture (Social Housing)
The suppliers are ranked within each lot (with the exception of Lot 3 which features a sole supplier) and contracting authorities have the ability to directly award to the first ranked supplier for purchases under £25,000, and conduct a further competition for projects where the value exceeds this. The solution also provides access to a full no obligation design and consultancy service for larger projects.
NEPO411 Furniture features in the Department for Education’s (DfE) list of recommended deals.
Notes on procurement process: NEPO intends to begin renewal of NEPO411 Furniture solution in Summer 2020, the indicative timescales are as follows.
