Description:

Tower Hamlets is seeking expressions of interest from experienced and suitably qualified organisations to supply, fit and maintain furnishings and white goods in temporary accommodation offered to individuals and families by the Council’s Housing Options Service. The appointed organisations will furnish temporary accommodation with floor coverings, window coverings and a cooker, amongst other household items to be provided as and when required.

Items provided will need to be maintained for a minimum of 24 months, irrespective of whether or not the item is still under warranty.
