Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Supply and Delivery of Tools, Equipment and Ancillaries," which falls under the industry category of tools. The process was conducted to support the council's statutory duty of maintaining public highways, parks, and open spaces. This initiative involved establishing a single-source call-off contract under the NEPO219 Building Materials Dynamic Purchasing System to enhance consistency and efficiency. The contract, valued at £810,000, was awarded to Bradfords Building Supplies Limited on 11 December 2025. The contract period spans from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2030, with the delivery location specified as the Birmingham area (postal code B1 1BB). The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those involved in the supply of various hand tools, power tools, and associated equipment, to expand their footprint in governmental contracts. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged, given the suitability criteria outlined by Birmingham City Council, which has designed the procurement to be accessible to such businesses. By participating in this framework, businesses can establish a reliable and consistent revenue stream over the four-year contract duration, thereby enhancing their credibility and potential for future contract wins. The structured approach via the NEPO219 Building Materials Dynamic Purchasing System also allows multiple providers to compete, ensuring that dynamic and competitive market conditions are maintained.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply and Delivery of Tools, Equipment and Ancillaries

Notice Description

Birmingham City Council has a statutory duty to maintain its public highways, parks, and open spaces to a high standard of cleanliness and safety. To fulfil this obligation, the Council relies heavily on a skilled manual workforce equipped with a wide range of hand tools, power tools, garden tools, and associated ancillaries. These tools are essential for the day-to-day operations carried out across multiple depots, each of which operates its own stores and budgetary controls. Historically, the procurement of tools and equipment has been managed on an ad hoc basis, with quotations sought from multiple suppliers to achieve best value. However, this approach has presented challenges in consistency, delivery times, and administrative efficiency. In response, the Council initiated a formal procurement process to establish a single-source call-off contract under the NEPO219 Building Materials Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This route was selected following an options appraisal which identified the DPS as the most suitable framework to ensure compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and, provided access to the numerous incumbent providers to join the DPS and compete for the Council's business.
