New CPC School and Academies Furniture and Associated Services framework is launched

CPC’s new School and Academies Furniture and Associated Services framework will help to support members with a wide range of school furniture items and services available throughout its 7 categorised lots.

We embarked on creating this framework to provide a more bespoke offering and flexible solution to our members in the schools and academies sector.

Not only does this new framework offer competitive pricing and a compliant route to market, but it also has additional benefits such as specialist suppliers for specific requirements, including furniture for children with special needs. We understand the importance of industry knowledge when it comes to providing the best environment for children to learn in. Our highly qualified suppliers have the expertise in the design elements required to provide the right solutions.

The framework has 7 lots that include:

Lot 1	Classroom and education furniture – free standing
Lot 2	General administrative, storage and conference furniture
Lot 3	Dining room furniture
Lot 4	Library area furniture
Lot 5	Special Educational Needs and early years furniture and accessories
Lot 6	Specialist rooms
Lot 7	Staging and performance areas

Each lot offers institutions a full-service furniture solution including optional additional services such as planning, design, installation, fitting, and aftersales support.

The framework went live on the 25^th March 2021 and will be in place until the 24^th March 2024, with the option to extend for a further 12 months. More information about the framework and the bespoke user guide is available on our School and Academies Furniture and Associated Services framework page

Should any members be looking to undertake a furniture tender for their school or academy, please contact contract manager Myles Woodman at [email protected] or 0161 974 0945 who will be able to provide guidance on accessing and utilising the new framework.
