Property Maintenance & Construction Materials

Great Places Housing Group Limited is establishing an open framework for the procurement of property maintenance and construction materials to support its repairs and grounds maintenance operations. The contract, identified by solicitation number DN808977, is divided into 11 lots covering categories such as electrical supplies, paint, roofing, windows, doors, and general building materials. The total estimated value of the framework is 32 million pounds excluding VAT, with an estimated performance period of eight years running from November 16, 2026, to November 15, 2034. Materials will be managed through a distribution centre in Trafford Park, Manchester, with delivery options including warehouse delivery, direct-to-site delivery, or supplier pickup. The award process is weighted heavily toward price at 80 percent, with quality assessment accounting for the remaining 20 percent. Suppliers must meet strict financial and insurance requirements, including an annual turnover at least twice the annual lot value and 5 million pounds each in employer's liability, public liability, and product liability insurance. Delivery timeframes vary by lot, typically ranging from two to three working days for the distribution centre, while windows and doors allow for ten working days for estate-wide delivery. Payment is issued within 30 calendar days of receiving an undisputed invoice that includes a valid purchase order number. The contract also includes provisions for a one-year extension of up to 50 percent in value should the organization acquire additional stock.
