- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
The Scottish Police Authority (known as “the Authority”) has a requirement for Supply, Delivery and Installation of Office Furniture and Associated Equipment across its estate throughout Scotland.
The current provision for the Supply, Delivery and Installation of Office Furniture and Associated Equipment is due to expire on 31 March 2027. The Authority therefore requires a suitably experienced and competent Contractor to deliver these services under a single-supplier framework.
The successful Contractor will be responsible for the comprehensive supply, delivery, installation and associated support of office furniture and related products across the Authority’s estate.
The Contractor must be capable of delivering the full scope of services across the entire geographical area of Scotland, including the Highlands, Islands and other remote locations.
The Contractor must maintain sufficient resources, infrastructure, suitably qualified personnel, vehicles and delivery capability to provide a consistent, reliable and responsive service across all required locations throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement.
