New procurement arrangements floor the public sector
New procurement arrangements floor the public sector
An enhanced flooring procurement arrangement announced today will provide public sector buyers with a flexible, easy-to-use service for all flooring requirements.
The comprehensive Supply & Delivery and Supply & Installation of Floor Coverings framework agreement from OGCbuying.solutions offers a simple and effective solution to satisfy all flooring needs. It was developed in consultation with a broad range of stakeholders to ensure maximum suitability and practicality.
The suppliers' selection for the framework agreement was based on recognised quality and environmental accreditations. Value for money, competitive price and high standards of products and services were also key to their success.
The framework agreement has been awarded in two lots:
* Supply & Delivery of Textile Floor Coverings - the supplier for this lot is InterfaceFLOR
* Supply & Installation of Flooring - the supplier for this lot is Crown Flooring Ltd
Martina Hamilton, Category Executive - Facilities, at Buying Solutions commented today: "This framework agreement illustrates Buying Solutions' ongoing commitment to quality for product and service, both of which are at the heart of this comprehensive offering. Customers can be assured of simple yet effective solutions to their flooring requirements".
The Supply & Delivery and Supply & Installation of Floor Coverings framework agreement will run for a period of 3 years, expiring on 31 December 2011.
For further information, or to register an interest in the Supply & Delivery and Supply & Installation of Floor Coverings framework agreement, please contact the Buying Solutions' Customer Service Desk on 0845 410 2222.
