Residential Furniture and Furnishings

PfH is delighted to announce that a new Residential Furniture and Furnishings Agreement has been launched that could create savings of up to 15%.

Following a highly competitive fully OJEU compliant tendering process, PfH have appointed four suppliers in compliance with new EU regulations encouraging mini- competition. The PfH Product Group for Residential Furniture and Furnishings believes that a combination of these four suppliers will provide PfH Members with sufficient capacity, geographical coverage, product range and services to meet all Members' needs.

"PfH, with input from Members, have been through a rigorous sourcing exercise for the tendering of Residential Furniture and Furnishings. The exercise has looked at many other aspects of potential suppliers and products, other than just price, including suitability and experience in the housing sector. As a result the suppliers selected under the contract provide housing organisations with a tailored solution to their furniture and furnishings requirements. Housing 21 are already planning to work with at least one if not more of the contracted suppliers". Lee Royal, Chair of Residential Furniture and Furnishings Product Group and Head of Procurement, Housing 21.

The four selected suppliers are Carleton Furniture Group, Furniture Resource Centre, Huntleigh Renray and Peel Mount Contract Furnishings. Carleton specialise in Furniture with the other three suppliers specialising in both Furniture & Furnishings.
