Description

The Cirrus Consortium is a procurement consortium with members including Registered Providers of Social Housing, Local Authorities, ALMOs and NHS Trusts. The Consortium is seeking to establish a new framework of multiple suppliers for the supply of building materials and associated services to replace the existing and highly successful materials framework.

The Consortium is seeking bids for the following lots:

- Lot 1: Managed Services
- Lot 2: General building materials
- Lot 3: Plumbing and heating materials (including gas spares and renewables)
- Lot 4: Electrical materials
- Lot 5: Highways and civil materials
- Lot 6: Painting and decorating supplies
- Lot 7: Tool and plant hire

The outcome of the tender process will be a 4 year Framework Agreement expected to commence during June 2023. It is envisaged that the final framework will be awarded to approximately 7 suppliers for Lot 1: Managed Services and 12 suppliers per lot for all other lots.
