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.
