Description

At the Riverside Group we are reviewing our arrangements for procuring residential furniture items and we would like to invite interested suppliers to take part in a market engagement exercise. The majority of our furniture requirements are within our Care & Support space which supports customers with diverse needs. We will need nationwide coverage - whether that is serviced by a single supplier or a number of smaller suppliers; the ability to deliver within tight timeframes; and ranges that reflect our different customer requirements. Our furniture must be of good quality and able to withstand some rough treatment, whilst also providing a homely and welcoming aesthetic. If you are a supplier that can meet some or all of those requirements, we would really appreciate you completing our market engagement questionnaire.
