STA-26051 Furniture

Awarded to Kinnarps (UK) Limited for furniture via a direct award. This is part of the residual revenue spend allocated to furniture, which needs to be spent before the end of the academic financial year. The decision to proceed via direct appointment is based on a time-critical requirement. The requirement must be fulfilled within the current academic financial year, with funding that cannot be carried forward. Undertaking a competitive process would introduce timescales that would risk non-delivery within the funding window, resulting in potential loss of budget and impact to operational delivery.
