Summary of the contracting process

The Cirrus Consortium, represented by the Grand Union Housing Group, has completed the award process for the Cirrus Consortium Materials Supply Framework 2023. This procurement opportunity covered call-off contracts within England, Scotland, and Wales, excluding Northern Ireland. The framework aimed to establish multiple suppliers for building materials, with specific lots such as Managed Services, General building materials, Plumbing and heating materials, Electrical materials, Highways and civil materials, Painting and decorating supplies, and Tool and plant hire. The procurement stage was conducted as an open procedure, and the award was made to several suppliers on July 7, 2023.

Businesses offering managed services, general building materials, plumbing and heating materials, electrical materials, highway/civil materials, painting and decorating supplies, or tool and plant hire are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The framework agreement is expected to last for four years, with the final framework likely to be awarded to multiple suppliers for different lots.
