04Furniture contracts: common questions
How many furniture tenders are live in the South East?
10 right now, from 9 public buyers, with 4 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in furniture contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win furniture contracts?
Often, yes. 4 of the 10 live tenders in the South East are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). 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.
05Expert notes: Goods & equipment
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.
