Tender description

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive's Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) is the inhouse maintenance provider for response repairs across approximately 24 000 domestic dwellings. The Northern Ireland Housing Executive are planning on holding supplier engagement events (date to be arranged) to engage with potential service providers to better understand how/if we could rationalise our supply chain and explore alternative methods for sourcing and distributing materials to the point of use. The Housing Executive currently sources materials via traditional procurement routes and they are, in general, delivered by our various Contractors to 3 main stores across Northern Ireland. (Belfast, Coleraine, and Portadown) An example of the category of materials would include but not be limited to: electrical, plumbing, timber, internal and external fire doors, general building materials, building hardware, rainwater goods, paint, hand tools, windows and glazing and kitchen units. To get a better understanding of how/if the Housing Executive could achieve a more innovative and value for money approach to sourcing and distribution, we would like to invite suppliers to register their interest. On registering your interest a questionnaire will be issued for you to complete and return to decide if you will proceed to the supplier engagement event. If you are interested please e-mail tricia.durnin@nihe.gov.uk to request a selection questionnaire. When registering your interest please provide a name, organisation name, contact number and e-mail address of who will be the representative of your organisation. All Expressions of Interest must be received by 3 p.m. on 7.2.2020. Please note that information associated with this expression of interest is subject to change.
