Building on the success of 5 previous materials frameworks, the Cirrus Consortium Materials Framework provides the public sector with quick, flexible access to a wide range of building materials and top-quality merchants and suppliers.
The Materials Framework includes a selection of suppliers to the housing and public sectors who have been chosen via a tender conducted in full compliance with public procurement legislation.
Our frameworks are designed with value for money, compliance and maximum flexibility in mind, therefore any materials delivery model can be used under the framework including (but not limited to) managed services, managed stores, direct delivery, branch supply and unstaffed or ‘remote’ facilities.
