Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "STAR & TPPL Materials Framework" has concluded, managed by STAR Procurement on behalf of Trafford Council. This framework agreement facilitates the supply of building materials and associated services across the UK and internationally, under an open procurement method valued at £400 million. The framework, which operates from 8th May 2025 to 6th May 2029, will be accessible to multiple public sector entities including registered social landlords, local authorities, and educational establishments. The industry focus is on building materials, allowing delivery to regions such as the UK, Europe, and other parts of the world.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in building materials, particularly those that can operate on a large scale. Although current suppliers, such as Bradfords Building Supplies Limited and Huws Gray Ltd, are already engaged, the framework is designed to accommodate a wide range of suppliers, including SMEs, making it an attractive proposition for businesses seeking to expand their market presence in public sector contracts. The open procedure ensures a competitive environment, encouraging innovation and cost-effective solutions from participating businesses.
