What do buyers ask for in furniture contracts?

Can a small business win furniture contracts?
Often, yes. 1 of the 4 live tenders in Northern Ireland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.

Goods are often bought through frameworks run by central purchasing bodies, with call-offs for specific needs. Price, delivery terms and product specifications usually decide it; check whether the buyer expects you on a framework first.
