Summary of the contracting process

Waythrough procured a national supply of domestic white goods and electrical equipment for housing and community-related services. The requirement covers domestic appliances, including electrical household equipment, for delivery and use across the UK, with the operational location identified as Tees Valley and Durham. Places for People Group Limited and Procurement Hub are also recorded in the procurement, with Places for People acting as a central purchasing body. The primary buyer is Waythrough, a public body working in social protection. The requirement is classified as domestic appliances (CPV 39700000). It is a goods opportunity rather than a construction or service contract, and is structured around supplying appliances and associated electrical equipment rather than installation, maintenance or consultancy.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the resulting contracts are recorded as active, although the single lot is also marked cancelled. It used an open procedure and a framework arrangement limited to one participant. The tender deadline, bid opening and start of the award period were 16 February 2024 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated and lot value was £20,000,000. Evaluation was split equally between quality and price, at 50% each, and variants were not allowed. Two bids were received, both electronically, with no SME bids recorded. Currys Group Ltd t/a Currys Business was selected. One contract is recorded at £20,000,000, signed on 13 March 2024; two further active contract records each show £494,000 and were signed on 15 July 2026. The stated contract duration is 1,440 days, with an initial 24 months and two possible 12-month extensions.

This procurement demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for a supplier able to provide domestic appliances and electrical household equipment at national scale, with reliable distribution across the UK and particular delivery activity in Tees Valley and Durham. A credible competitor would need broad product access, dependable stock and fulfilment capacity, and the operational reach to support a housing and social-protection organisation. The evaluation placed equal importance on quality and price, so suppliers would need to evidence consistent product standards, service reliability and competitive commercial terms rather than relying on low pricing alone. The recorded competition involved large suppliers and no SME bids, indicating that future credibility may depend on demonstrating national capacity, supply-chain resilience and the ability to manage a framework-style arrangement with a single appointed supplier.
