Description
The core area of work for most Contracting Authorities is within repairs and maintenance and many employ their own Operatives with support from external Suppliers. It is essential that all Operatives have easy access to materials as locally as possible to complete all the required repairs and maintenance to properties. These materials need to be available at the right time to provide an efficiency of time for Operatives and a first-time fix.
It is vital for our Contracting Authorities that the supply chain is capable of supplying materials at competitive rates but also deliver the required service level requirements to enable them to meet their own objectives and commitments. The key features valued by our Contracting Authorities are:
• Sufficient coverage in their area to support a mobile workforce
• Next day delivery to either a stores facility, site or individual property
• Trade counter to facilitate collections
• Guaranteed stock holding against an agreed core list
• Van Stock Management
• Dedicated Account Manager
• Reporting data to assist with continuous improvement and review of products
There is clear evidence to show that public bodies are paying a wide range of prices for the same commodities, even within existing collaborative arrangements. EEM's objective is to assist the public sector in maximising the significant buying power that exists across construction materials. With this is mind EEM is looking to create a framework that provides all public sector bodies the same price regardless of size and location. By collaborating across our membership, we expect to receive the best possible price for materials.
With this is mind all Suppliers will be required to work to the objective of "One price for the Public Sector"
