In plain English

Network Rail is looking for a single national supplier to provide ergonomic chairs designed for 24-hour use, plus delivery, installation, maintenance, repair and recycling services across England, Wales and Scotland. The chairs are for staff like signallers and controllers who spend 12-hour shifts sitting at computer workstations.

What the buyer wants

• Supply a limited core range of ergonomic chairs (maximum 4 models) including a standard 24/7 chair, an enhanced version, a chair for users with musculoskeletal disorders, and a bariatric option • Deliver, install and assemble chairs nationally at no charge for larger orders • Provide annual maintenance, warranty repairs, and removal/recycling of old chairs • Offer catalogue access via Network Rail's Oracle iProcurement system and ongoing account management

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a large-scale national framework worth £4.6 million requiring a single supplier to manage delivery and maintenance across three countries: most small businesses will lack the scale, logistics infrastructure, inventory capacity and multi-site support capability needed to win and deliver this contract.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
