b) Once the supplier has received and accepted the completed activation form, they will send you an information pack and the order form.

c) Choose your furniture requirements carefully, taking into consideration room and class sizes, sign it and send it back to the supplier.

d) Complete the order form with the furniture and the required quantity. Verify the details with the contractor. (The verification refers to the need to confirm the correct codes with the contractor as the Department’s Furniture and Equipment Team may not be in a position to identify the difference between size 1 and size 2 chairs for example.)

Once the relevant order details have been confirmed the order form should be submitted to the Department.

In the Department’s approval process, the following criteria will be considered:

- Current enrolment status in the school;

- The level of damage to the furniture as shown in the photographs;

- Any additional information that the school may have provided;

- Whether the school has received any funding for furniture replacement in the past 10 years.

While the supplier listed various types of furniture, as part of the existing schools, the loose furniture and equipment scheme only applies to pupil/teacher tables, pupil/teacher chairs, freestanding bookshelves/storage, whiteboards, and notice boards.
