Summary of the contracting process

The Cirrus Consortium, represented by Halton Housing, has completed the award stage of the 2025 Kitchen Supply Framework, focusing on kitchen furniture and equipment within the goods category. The open procurement procedure was managed by Cirrus Purchasing Ltd and aimed to replace the expiring Cirrus Consortium Kitchen Materials Supply Framework. This framework will serve contracting authorities across England, Scotland, and Wales from its commencement on 30th June 2025, excluding Northern Ireland. The framework agreement, lasting four years, allows various contracting authorities to source kitchen materials, installation services, and related products like tiles and lighting. The procurement under the legal basis of CELEX Directive 32014L0024, provides a vast platform for suppliers, having concluded with multiple awards by 19th June 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, primarily for firms specialising in kitchen manufacturing, supply, or installation. SME suppliers like Dennis and Robinson Ltd and Joinery and Timber Creations 65 Ltd, alongside larger enterprises such as Howden Joinery Limited and Travis Perkins Trading Company Limited, were successful. The framework supports diverse service models, including direct delivery, site collection, and installation, appealing to companies with robust supply chains and service capabilities. Businesses that can offer comprehensive kitchen solutions, from manufacturing to design services, stand to gain substantial contracts and expand their footprint in public sector procurement across the UK regions covered by this framework.
