The current furniture suppliers, Ahrend and Gispen, will have their contracts expire in June 2025, making a restructuring towards a circular approach necessary. The UvA and the HvA aim to purchase 25% less new furniture by extending the lifespan of existing furniture. This consultation subsequently aims to provide valuable information for the future procurement.

01What is being requested

The Universiteit van Amsterdam has initiated a market consultation for circular furniture. The current furniture suppliers, Ahrend and Gispen, will have their contracts expire in June 2025, making a restructuring towards a circular approach necessary. The UvA and the HvA aim to purchase 25% less new furniture by extending the lifespan of existing furniture. This consultation subsequently aims to provide valuable information for the future procurement.

The current furniture services no longer align with the sustainability objectives of the UvA and HvA. Both institutions have the ambition to procure 25% less new furniture through lifespan extension. With the expiration of the current contracts with Ahrend and Gispen (June 2025), this is a logical moment to make the transition to a circular approach. Through this market consultation, we hope to find you willing to provide us with valuable information that we can use for the final procurement.
