Common questions
Furniture and furnishings procurement, in short
Who buys furniture and furnishings in the UK public sector?
645 public sector organisations have awarded furniture and furnishings contracts since 2021. The most active are UK Shared Business Services Ltd (74 contracts), Ministry of Defence (68 contracts), Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (41 contracts).
How much is a typical furniture and furnishings contract worth?
The median is £95k, across the 1,649 contracts of 1,772 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do furniture and furnishings contracts come up for renewal?
339 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new furniture and furnishings tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.
