About the requirement

From the notice

At the Riverside Group we are reviewing our arrangements for procuring residential furniture items and we would like to invite interested suppliers to take part in a market engagement exercise. The majority of our furniture requirements are within our Care & Support space which supports customers with diverse needs. We will need nationwide coverage - whether that is serviced by a single supplier or a number of smaller suppliers; the ability to deliver within tight timeframes; and ranges that reflect our different customer requirements. Our furniture must be of good quality and able to withstand some rough treatment, whilst also providing a homely and welcoming aesthetic. If you are a supplier that can meet some or all of those requirements, we would really appreciate you completing our market engagement questionnaire. Additional information: This is a soft market testing exercise which is available to access free of charge on Riverside's In-Tend Portal. Suppliers must register or login to gain access to the tender and to submit their bid. Submissions must be via the In-Tend Portal also. The link to access the portal is below: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/theriversidegroup Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No[E5]
