Procurement

Advanced Procurement for Fixtures and Office Furniture from Business Interiors

We are not tied to one manufacturer, we have purchasing records for over 150 furniture suppliers alone (not to mention lighting, carpets, even wall hung art). Some of our employees have worked either directly for, or with, some of the largest office product manufacturers in the world, such as Steelcase, Knoll, Herman Miller, Kinnarps, Senator, Allermuir, Bene, Orangebox, Millken, Interface etc… etc…  In short, there’s not much we don’t know about about office furniture, and all the other fixtures and fittings that populate a great office – and more importantly, how to get you the best pricing and the best product mix for your company or project.

Office Furniture

 

It’s a very empty workplace without office furniture. Its makes a big difference, to your flexibility, comfort, and the look, feel, functionality of your office space. It also makes good business sense too, let us show you how.

Tenders

 

You have to get at least three quotes. But who do you invite? How do you ensure a level playing field? How do you filter all those sales calls?  There’s a lot to consider, so working with a furniture expert we can put everything together for you, helping you  get best value for money and making your budget stretch further and better.

Move Management & Churn

Change happens, all the time. We can assist moving the teams internally (Churn) or we can assist in modest moves. Either way, we can help remove the headaches and make it happen

 

Our preferred method is to be appointed to work alongside you to consider and evaluate the right product and manufacturer for your organisation in all areas. Sometimes we work alongside external Architects and Designers in this capacity. We can assist with building the preferred specification with you, organising user trials, showroom visits and site mock ups to involve all stake holders in the decision making process, before finally issuing a competitive tender to ensure value for money for the chosen solution.

We have many years of experience that ensure this approach produces the best solution, at the best value for money, whilst providing a welcome buffer between you and the many companies vying for your business. With this “bird’s eye view” we can also keep a balanced perspective on the budget.

For larger companies or their subsidiaries, we can leverage global purchasing power to either use or set up very attractive key account agreements, implementing global standards which other offices can easily follow and roll out. There may already be a purchasing agreement in place that your company could take advantage of; for example, we have used government contracts to asist some charities and even leveraged parent company key account agreements in the US for the benefit of UK subsiduaries.

Alternatively, if you already have a specification in mind, we would be happy to tender for the furniture package of your project. Although we can take care of everything, we would be equally happy to work as a small part of your project team.
