Material Supply & Merchant Services Framework

Prosper · Local or regional public body

In brief

Prosper has announced plans to buy furniture work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £500,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 5 May 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for furniture contracts across the UK (from 172 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £500,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

This is a Preliminary market engagement (PME) where the tender documentation is not yet available.
