| Bristol City Council | |
| CONTRACT: Ongoing | |
| Contract Value: | |
| Elm were successfully awarded the contract to supply, deliver and install office furniture to Bristol City Council. The contract was tendered through the European Journal (OJEC) against over 60 candidates. The contract is for a period of 5 years with the option to extend for a further 5 years. Bristol City Council has implemented their procurement via ‘e-trading’ over the internet, which gives a more efficient and cost effective solution when dealing with Elm. Elm has recently installed furniture into Bristol City Council’s newly acquired offices at Colston 33, Bristol, a project that included the installation of 145 workstations along with storage and furniture for 2 large breakout areas. The new specification of workstations was proposed to the council to accommodate their new working practices which included a large amount of staff hot-desking along with full time staff in designated areas. |

In addition Elm was asked to submit designs for the new Restaurant, Reception and meeting room areas. As part of the contract there was requirement to prepare a relocation plan which encompassed the supply of installation crews, vehicles and crates. A specific requirement from the client was that the whole move should take no longer that 24hours.

| Wincanton Distribution Ltd | |
| CONTRACT: Completed | |
| Contract Value: £750,000 | |
Wincanton Distribution Ltd was originally formed as a management buy-out from the well known St Ivel Company. The organisation originally concentrated on Chilled Distribution but has now expanded its operation to encompass delivery and logistics for most of the High Street supermarkets and retail chains. The company operates over 6,000 articulated trucks making it the second largest transport company in Europe. Having achieved staggering growth over the last 10 years Wincanton had a problem. Five hundred of its top administration and management staff were split over 3 sites in the West Country. The challenge was to integrate all three sites into one prestigious Head Office building with the minimum of disruption. The tender for furniture was handled in house by the company who had already established a specification and requirement. After pre-qualification Elm completed and won a detailed reverse auction. All requirements were detailed by the client and met by Elm. A 2-3 week installation period was all that was needed to complete the 500 workstation scheme that included restaurant, reception and boardroom areas. The client was fully satisfied with the results and the staff moves took place on time to schedule with minimum disruption. |
