FPEP Furniture

Tender description

The City of London Police (CoLP) are currently undertaking a programme to modernise their estate through a mixture of the construction of brand new buildings and the refurbishment of existing buildings. There will be 6 buildings within the future police estate of varying sizes and containing a wide range of functions, and they will be ready for handover to CoLP at different times across approximately a 2 year period from late 2026 to early 2029. With the building works in progress, the CoLP are now in the early stages of planning for the internal fit out of each of the buildings post-handover, including procurement for the supply and installation of furniture. Whilst an estimate of the likely quantities of the major types of furniture required at each of the sites is known, floor plans are still being developed in some of the buildings so these estimates are subject to change, and additional items may also be added to the requirements as plans are finalised. In addition to the supply and installation of furniture, we would also be seeking suppliers to undertake an element of design work, assessing floor plans and identifying where specific furniture would be best placed, advising on the type of furniture that would be most appropriate for the location and function of rooms and proposing the most suitable products available for the particular work environment. Ahead of commencing a formal procurement process and to assist with developing the tender documents, the CoLP would initially like to gain an understanding of the type of furniture that is currently available on the market and to do this would welcome the opportunity to visit the showrooms of interested suppliers.
