Sustainable Furniture Solutions

The scope of the framework covers supply and installation of furniture incorporating circular economy considerations, repair, re-use and recycling, and complementary services such as product design, space planning, drawings, project management, and after-sales support etc.

Due to the wide possible variation in requirements the intention is for the Framework Agreement to have flexibility built-in so Customers can confirm specifics at Mini Competition (as long as the requirements fall within the scope of the Lot titles)
