Lot #4Circular Economy Considerations - e-MarketplaceCancelled UK

An established provider of a furniture re-use e-marketplace will provide a physical and virtual warehouse for products, a sales platform, and transportation logistics to optimise the framework users’ uptake of pre-used product and minimise the volume of:

  • newly manufactured furniture introduced by the sector

The model extends some institutions’ own established re-use programmes to enable pan institution visibility and access. Unlike some existing platforms, products must be appropriately refurbished and redistributed by the provider, not simply ‘take it as we find it’.

Scope:

  • ‘Take back’ of surplus product from institutions either directly or via framework contractor.
  • Grading and pricing expertise
  • Repair and refurbishment service
  • On-line (non-auction) consumer style e-marketplace
