Coverage: 157 active published awards; 8 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The University of Exeter has established a multi-lot furniture framework to support the supply and installation of ongoing development, refurbishment, and operational needs of its academic, residential, and professional services estate. Call-off contracts will be awarded by Direct award (ranked method). Direct awards will be made based on ranked position. This means that the supplier ranked first will be offered the opportunity first. Framework users reserve the right to award to the next ranked supplier where there is a valid business justification for doing so. The award outcome and ranking is as follows: Lot 1- Workplace & Learning Space Furniture Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st BOF Group Limited 2nd Lot 2- Healthy Working Ergonomic & DSE Compliant Accessories Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st Back Care Solutions Ltd 2nd Lot 3- Fixed Lecture Theatre & Raked Seating Race Furniture Ltd 1st Auditoria Services Ltd 2nd Lot 4a- Residential Furniture FMS Interior Services Ltd 1st Bedcare Ltd 2nd Lot 4b- Beds and Mattresses FMS Interior Services Ltd 1st Bishops Beds Ltd 2nd Lot 5a Laboratory and Work Benches Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st Lot 5b- Laboratory Chairs Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st Lot 5c- Cabinetry Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st Lot 5d- Chemical Cabinets Wagstaff Interiors Group 1st Contract Spend The estimated values are based on forecast demand. The contract value represents the maximum allowable spend over the full term (including extensions) and has been set higher to allow for demand fluctuations and future requirements. The maximum contract values, per Lot, have been uplifted (approximately 100% above estimated spend) to ensure sufficient headroom for unforeseen demand and institutional growth. The Authority is not committed to this maximum value.
