Summary of the contracting process

Railway Housing Association procured the supply and distribution of kitchens for its housing stock, with Prosper Procurement Ltd managing the process. The requirement covers kitchen furniture and equipment, domestic appliances, and associated bathroom and kitchen articles. Delivery is across the North East of England. This is a goods requirement rather than construction or installation works. The appointed supplier is expected to provide and distribute complete kitchen-related products suitable for housing use, supporting the association’s property maintenance, refurbishment or replacement needs. Businesses operating in kitchen manufacture, wholesale supply, distribution and associated domestic appliance provision would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to serve housing providers across the North East.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the Supply and Distribution of Kitchens Framework, reference DN679290. The award was made on 13 April 2026 to Joinery & Timber Creations (65) Ltd for £172,737.13. The contract period runs from 14 April 2026 to 31 March 2036. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of Railway Housing Association. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract covers supply and distribution of the specified kitchen goods across the North East of England.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for kitchen furniture, equipment, domestic appliances and related products within social housing. A credible future supplier would need dependable manufacturing or sourcing arrangements, the ability to assemble and fulfil varied kitchen product requirements, and distribution capacity covering the North East. Experience supplying housing associations, landlords or property refurbishment programmes would strengthen a competitor’s position, as would evidence of consistent product quality, stock management and reliable delivery. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business. Businesses that can combine kitchen product expertise with robust logistics and public-sector contract management would be well placed when this buyer’s requirement next reaches the market.
