UKRI-4609 Furniture (Design, Supply, Install and Recycle) Framework

The aim of this procurement is to find a supplier/suppliers who will support both business as usual (BAU) orders and project works mainly at our Site at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire but also providing assistance, when needed at our smaller site, The STFC Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire (SO20 6BJ). The estimated value for this requirement is £5,000,000 excluding VAT for a possible 8 year term however this is subject to change once we have completed the Supplier Engagement Sessions. The disciplines required by STFC to be covered by this Framework include: • Space Planning (layout) • Supply of furniture • Installing furniture - delivery and placement only (with no construction) • Move Management and Re-Configuration • Removal & recycling of old furniture. BAU orders are more frequent, can sometimes require weekly installs or just delivery of furniture. The common type of furniture is desking, DSE chairs, meeting room furniture and on occasions have a requirement for 1 or 2 person zoom pods. In some of our office spaces we have recently installed meeting pods.
