Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

RCTH is seeking to appoint a furniture supplier for the provision of furniture products (including delivery; installation; and maintenance) to ten of our sheltered housing schemes.

RCTH are currently undertaking a refurbishment project to bring our sheltered housing schemes up to standard and obtain Visibly Better accreditation.

Visibly Better is an accreditation scheme developed by RNIB Cymru to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of people with sight problems who live in sheltered housing and extra care homes. In communal areas, we will ensure that design features are integrated to maintain independence and minimise risks to people with sight loss. This will include the appropriate use of colour contrast in furniture and fabrics. If you'd like to know more about Visibly Better Cymru, please telephone 029 2082 8500 or by email visiblybettercymru@rnib.org.uk

The Agreement will be for a period of two years (with an option for the Client to extend the Agreement for a further period of one year). The anticipated start date is 14th September 2015.
