Our framework agreement for the provision of furniture solutions will be live on 24 August and available for the Welsh public sector to use.

This framework agreement offers a compliant, simple and competitive route to market for customers to order a broad range of office and educational furniture solutions. The framework also offers access to 12 pre-approved suppliers that have been rigorously assessed on the quality of the goods they provide.
