British and American military forces withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021 and the Taliban seized control of the capital city of Kabul at this point. After the militants' takeover, HM government promised to resettle 20,000 refugees and evacuated 15,000 Afghans as part of Operation Pitting. More than 300 local authorities pledged to find homes for those who qualify under the scheme, Buckinghamshire Council was one of them. To date, in Buckinghamshire we have provided homes for 15 Afghan families, and this will increase to 36 in total through a variety of schemes over the coming months. The homes we rent are typically unfurnished, so we need to furnish them. Previously as these have come online individually, we have relied on donations. ## CPV classification Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/3a1ac6e7-6bd9-4d9b-a875-e06d000fad41) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
