Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured a single-supplier service to provide building materials for a housing repair team. The requirement covers miscellaneous decoration items, construction equipment, and construction materials and associated products. It was sourced through the ESPO 12_23 Building Supplies framework, Lot 1, described as a one-stop shop. Delivery is in England. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated requirement relates to supplying materials rather than carrying out the housing repairs themselves, so relevant businesses are builders’ merchants, construction materials distributors and suppliers of decorating and repair products able to support a public-sector housing maintenance operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure under the ESPO 12_23 Building Supplies framework. The contract was awarded to Huws Gray Ltd on 7 April 2026 for £1,750,000 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 8 April 2026 to 7 April 2027. The original requirement set a minimum value of £350,000 and an upper value of £1,750,000. Nottinghamshire County Council appointed one supplier. The tender submission deadline was 18 March 2026 at 12 noon. The arrangement provides an initial one-year term with two optional extensions of 24 months each, giving the buyer the stated option to extend beyond the initial period.

This award indicates sustained demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for broad-ranging building and decorating supplies to support housing repairs, using a single-supplier, one-stop-shop model. Competitors would need a dependable merchant or distribution operation able to source and supply both everyday decoration products and wider construction materials and equipment. Credible suppliers should be able to handle varied product requirements, maintain reliable stock and delivery arrangements across England, and provide the service levels expected by a housing repairs team. The framework route is commercially important: suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need to understand how ESPO building-supplies framework opportunities are accessed and how to serve public-sector customers through a structured purchasing arrangement.
