Procurement & contract furniture
Make the furniture scope easier to compare, approve, purchase, and manage.
Pettus supports specifications, applications, pricing, approved alternatives, lead-time review, freight, delivery, installation, warranty, and contract-performance requirements through one documented office-interiors scope.
Documented responsibility
Clear scope reduces procurement risk.
A defensible furniture decision requires more than comparing product prices. Configuration, quantities, finishes, accessories, freight, delivery, installation, storage, warranty, lead times, alternatives, and acceptance responsibilities should be evaluated together.
What is included—and what is not?
Document products, quantities, options, finishes, accessories, freight, delivery, installation, storage, taxes, warranties, and service.
Are the proposals truly comparable?
Separate product, configuration, freight, delivery, installation, warehousing, taxes, allowances, and optional alternates where appropriate.
Who owns execution after award?
Confirm approvals, project management, lead-time communication, tracking, site coordination, final acceptance, warranty, and continuing support.
Whole-scope value
The lowest product subtotal is not necessarily the lowest project risk.
Procurement value includes product performance, schedule exposure, field coordination, logistics, installation, final correction, warranty, and the cost of future additions or replacement.
- Application, durability, user fit, maintenance, and warranty
- Lead time, production, freight, storage, and required dates
- Field conditions, access, staging, installation, and acceptance
- Regional service, replacement parts, additions, and standards continuity
