Building Materials and Equipment

Tender description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has established a Framework Agreement for the provision of Building Materials and Equipment to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. It is intended that this commercial agreement will be the recommended vehicle for all Building Materials & Equipment required by UK Central Government Departments. The Agreement consists of a wide range of Building Materials and Equipment. The full Specification is set out in the Invitation to Tender (ITT). • Lot 1- Heavy Building Materials and One Stop Shop • Lot 2 - Plumbing, Heating, Bathrooms • Lot 3 - Electrical Products • Lot 4 - Paints and Solvents • Lot 5 - Floor Finishes • Lot 6 - Kitchens Domestic • Lot 7 - Personal Protective Equipment (Workwear, General , Specialist) • Lot 8 - Building & Construction Tools & Equipment - Purchase • Lot 9 - Building & Construction Tools & Equipment - Hire Additional information: In accordance with Regulation 72 paragraph 1 (e ) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, CCS intends to modify the Building Materials & Equipment Framework Agreement (RM6157) by extending the term by 6 months. Building Materials & Equipment was awarded on 27th July 2021. The decision has been made not to re procure the BME Framework (RM6157) and for the future demand going forward will be serviced via the Tail Solution Commercial Agreement as an alternative route to market for customers. Until this transition to Tail 2 can be implemented in early 2026 the extension is requested as the current Tail Spend Solution (RM6202) does not incorporate a service element provision which as a result will not allow lot 9 Plant & Tool Hire of the BME agreement (RM6517) to continue if immediately transitioned. As a result of the modification Building Materials & Equipment will now expire on 26th January 2026 which is in line with the implementation of the Tail 2 Framework.
