    "description": "At the Riverside Group we are reviewing our arrangements for procuring residential furniture items and we would like to invite interested suppliers to take part in a market engagement exercise.\u202fThe majority of our furniture requirements are within our Care \u0026 Support space which supports customers with diverse needs. 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.\r\n\r\nAdditional information: \r\nThis is a soft market testing exercise which is available to access free of charge on Riverside\u0027s 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. The link to access the portal is below:\r\nhttps://in-tendhost.co.uk/theriversidegroup\r\n\r\nIs a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No",
