This contract is to provide and replace furniture provided as part of the furnished tenancies

scheme within Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council. There are currently 749 furnished

tenancies in a variety of property types including one- and two-bedroom flats and one-, two-,

three- and four-bedroom houses. The average number of new furnished tenancies within a

monthly period is nine.

N.B There are also an additional 63 units used as temporary accommodation. These

properties are also furnished and require replacements on an ad hoc basis or when new units

are coming online. The provision of new units is increasing and therefore, it is likely that

furniture will be requested as part of this specification contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
