Tender description

Furniture will include workstations, workstation chairs, storage, general sundries, conference furniture and collaboration/break-out furniture — this list at this stage is not exhaustive.

The value of the framework is currently estimated to be from 0 GBP to 100 000 000 GBP. The Government Hub Programmes have been initiated to respond to the changing requirements of Government Depts and to create a more efficient property portfolio across the UK. Specific to HMRC is the Building our Future Locations Programme which is a complete structural reorganisation. The current property portfolio of 170 offices will be consolidated into 13 modern Regional Centres, equipped with the digital infrastructure and training facilities needed to make HMRC a more highly-skilled organisation, fit for the demands of the 21st century. Additionally there may also be a requirement for a Head Office, 4 Specialist and 6 Transitional Site fit-outs which form part of the retained estate. The structure of the framework and any lots is currently under further consideration. The design and specification for the Regional Centres has been completed and will form the basis of the type, quality and quantity of furniture required for the programmes.
