Overview

The University of Canterbury (UC) would like to establish preferred partnership arrangements with a small panel of providers of loose (unfixed) furniture and related services to the University on an as-and-when required basis. Furniture in this instance refers to the provision of loose furniture for commercial office, educational, workshop and laboratory spaces.

Products in this scope of procurement will include:
• Workstations
• Tables
• Seating
• Storage (eg under desk credenzas, filing cabinets)
• Mobile whiteboards and display boards
• Laboratory furniture (eg permeable furniture)
• Housing furniture
• Some soft furnishings
• Refurbishing services.

Additional value added services we are looking for include delivery, installation, extended warranty conditions and after sales support.

The following are not included in the scope of this procurement:
• Specialised laboratory equipment
• Trolley and similar mobile equipment
• Partitions
• Fixed tables and cabinetry.


The University is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and ethical transparent sound supply chains established to deliver a wide range of furniture to various departments/colleges throughout the campus. The intended panel of providers must have a proven track record with extensive knowledge in furniture products and related services, professional personnel, a high-level service offering including reliability, quality products and value for money.
Supply chain sustainability is a key focus for the University. Providers must devote absolute commitment to limiting environmental impact in all aspects of conducting business. This should include specific focus on reducing downstream waste, compostable packaging where possible, support of local producers and local communities.

The University may accept innovative and environmentally superior product offerings at our discretion.

There will be no commitment to volume.
