Herefordshire Council has revealed the company that has been awarded the contract to supply thousands of pounds worth of furniture to the councils Plough Lane offices.

From Herefordshire Council Decision Documents:

“Following a competitive tender and evaluation process through the YPO framework, it is agreed to award the contract to Portsdown Office Limited who have been successful in winning the tender. 

“The contract will assist in the delivery of the Council asset infrastructure changes. 

“Furniture will be repurposed from current Council stock as much as possible, this contract will enable the supply of furniture where it isn’t available for re-use.

“The closure of both Elgar House and Nelson House has resulted in more council staff being based and working from the corporate head office at Plough Lane and Multi Agency Offices (MAOs) in the county.

“As a result the Plough Lane office and MAOs have been identified as requiring changes to provide flexible office accommodation to meet the changing work practices and the use of office space post-Covid and to support the delivery of services using a hybrid approach.”
