Description

Leicester City Council initially tendered for office furniture approximately two years ago. Features such as style, size and colour for the furniture and other storage solutions were therefore determined as a result of that tender. As Leicester City Council has adopted a consistent and uniform approach, the requirement, as part of this new tender, must therefore align and be in keeping with the original purchases in terms of aesthetics, size, neat installation and flush fitting against current furniture. The initial requirement will be for a quantity of standard furniture, as per Price Schedule (Annex 1). This is to facilitate a replacement furniture programme at three offices and would need to be supplied and installed in phases but within 4 months of awarding the contract. Future requirements will be awarded as a call-off arrangement for the supply and installation of office furniture to all Council-owned facilities to align with the prices tenderers submit for the initial quantity requirement. Further details of the requirements can be found within the tender documentation. Submissions must be received via the EastMidsTenders portal: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html. Late submissions and those received by any other means will not be accepted. Any queries/questions regarding this opportunity must be received via the Due North portal only, otherwise they will not be responded to. This should be returned by 12:00 noon on 28 August 2015 at the very latest.
