This is a multi-supplier solution which provides you with a compliant way to buy furniture for a variety of room settings.
The solution is split into 3 lots and suppliers are ranked within each lot (except for lot 3 which is sole supplier).
You can directly award a contract to the first ranked supplier in each lot, up to an individual order value or total contract value of £25,000. A further competitive tender can be done where the value exceeds £25,000.
