    Brief

    Star Academies, a leading UK not-for-profit multi-academy trust operating 36 schools across five regions (Lancashire, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, West Midlands, and Greater London), is seeking qualified suppliers to provide furniture supply, installation, and packaging removal services across its entire estate. This is a competitive flexible procedure tender (above threshold, PA2023 compliant) split into four regional lots: Lot 1 - North West, Lot 2 - West Yorkshire, Lot 3 - West Midlands, and Lot 4 - London. Suppliers may bid for and be appointed to multiple lots. Scope of work includes: supplying and delivering loose furniture items (classroom chairs and desks, teacher furniture, office chairs and desks, storage units); installation services; packaging removal; and potential small-scale design elements. Star Academies prefers suppliers who manage all aspects in-house, with minimal subcontracting where possible. The contract will run for an initial three-year period with the option of two further 12-month extensions, subject to performance and company stability. Up to three suppliers per lot will be shortlisted from this PSQ stage to receive the full Invitation to Tender pack with detailed requirements. This procurement aims to achieve value for money, ensure consistent quality management, and establish collaborative partnerships with suppliers who can tailor their approach to meet the trust's specific needs across the entire estate.
