Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council procured the supply and delivery of fitted kitchen units and worktops for replacing kitchens in their housing stock. The requirement also covers door and drawer fronts for repair and maintenance work. It is a goods contract focused on kitchen components rather than installation or construction services. Delivery is to Lowestoft, England. The buyer is East Suffolk Council, operating on behalf of the two district councils. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist merchants able to supply consistent ranges of kitchen units, worktops and replacement fronts, with the logistics capability to deliver materials for housing refurbishment and ongoing repairs.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 23 March 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The contract was awarded to Raventree Ltd trading as Premiere on 17 July 2026, for £230,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 17 July 2029. The tender itself was marked complete, and the award is active. The purchasing route was a framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded award covers the kitchen supply requirement as a single procurement, with no separate lot outcome stated.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows a public housing buyer purchasing standard kitchen components for both planned replacement programmes and responsive repair and maintenance. A credible competitor would need dependable access to fitted kitchen units, worktops, door fronts and drawer fronts, together with reliable stock control and delivery arrangements to support housing work in Lowestoft. Product consistency matters because replacement parts must be suitable for repair work as well as complete kitchen renewals. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a framework call-off route, respond to public-sector ordering processes and demonstrate the capacity to fulfil recurring requirements across a council housing stock. The opportunity is suited to SMEs with relevant distribution or manufacturing capability.
