Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of building materials and associated products was conducted by Uttlesford District Council. The contract, valued at £100,000, falls under the industry category of building materials and covers supply needs related to general decarbonisation works. This call-off from the EEM framework (reference: EEM0072-1) focuses on the delivery of goods, including plant hire and personal protective equipment, with the delivery location specified in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, based on a framework agreement, and has progressed to the award stage, with key dates including the tender period closing on 1st February 2026 and the contract period spanning from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2027. The tender is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in the supply of building materials and those with the capability to support decarbonisation projects in the East of England. SMEs stand to benefit greatly, given the suitability criteria set by the buyer, Uttlesford District Council. Businesses focused on plant hire, provision of general building materials, and personal protective equipment should consider similar opportunities in this procurement category to expand their footprint within public sector contracts. The collaboration with the awarded supplier, Huws Gray Ltd, demonstrates how larger suppliers can facilitate efficient resource distribution, potentially serving as a model for other businesses seeking engagement in framework agreements.
