What is the furniture supply contract?

Ok, let's go to the point and with less formality, that so much technicalism bores even the stones.

The furniture supply contract, basically, is the legal paper that public entities sign when they want to catch furniture - you know, chairs, tables, desks, cabinets and all that paraphernalia - and they do so through a private company. That is, municipalities, universities, hospitals ... all those sites that need decent chairs so that people do not fall to the ground.

This contract, in case you ask you, is part of the roll of supply contracts in general. Law 9/2017 says (yes, that which is a brick and that everyone pretends to have read), which comes to say that these contracts serve to buy or rent things - furniture, equipment, whatever - and not only to buy them, also sometimes to rent them with or without option to stay later. A little like Netflix, but furniture.

And how do you decide who takes the contract? Well, normally, the typical: a public tender. They publish an advertisement with all the roll of what they want (how many furniture, how they want them, for when, etc.), the companies present their offers and then the administration chooses the most convenient. Eye, not always wins the cheapest, they also look at the quality, after -sales service, if the furniture is ecological, and all that. So, if your offer is shabby but cheap, they don't even look at you.

If you are a company and want to get in these eggplant, you better go prepared. You have to control the Law of Public Sector and Royal Decree that sounds like a fantasy novel, but that is rather a legal tocho. In addition, you have to comply with what they ask for: deliver on time, adjust to the specifications, give guarantees, post -sales services and all those things that companies promise on their website and then see if they comply.

Anyway, these contracts are a candy for companies that want to put their heads in the public sector. But be careful, it is not to arrive and kiss the saint: you have to curb it, know the rules well and have everything in order. If you do well, it can be a bargain. If not, then to continue selling furniture in Wallapop.
