                "description": "The merchants and material supply sector has faced disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic and increased UK import costs, leading to raw material price hikes and market volatility. The merchant market has evolved in recent years through mergers and consolidations, reducing the number of merchants but strengthening some specialised solutions. CHIC and EN have therefore started to shape a new merchants framework to be procured later this year and to be fully operational from 2026. We wanted to consult out stakeholders to test whether the lot structure of the framework and the procurement process are reflective of current needs and expectations. We therefore hosted two roundtable market consultation events during 2024: * Rotherham - Tuesday 11th June * Milton Keynes - Thursday 13th June These were attended by a range of consortia stakeholders, including: * Members * National merchants * Regional / Local merchants * Materials manufacturers * Distributors or other suppliers After a summary of the utilisation of the current framework, there was a briefing of forthcoming changes arising from the Procurement Act 2023, which became operational in February 2025. Delegates were asked to consider and advise on a range of specific questions. The context will be a single framework, procured by CHIC for its own members and those of EN, where framework support - the consortia managed services - is a combined service.",

As it takes significant time and resource (including financial expenditure by way of capital (and revenue) investment) for both the Authorised User and merchant to implement effectively integrated systems and to develop comprehensive materials supply catalogues which meet the optimum needs of the member (contractor), the return on the investment to achieve this cannot be recovered in a short term framework and call off contract. CHIC is therefore procuring frameworks that will operate for 8 years from the award date.",

                "buyerCategories": "Communities & Housing Investment Consortium Limited ( CHIC ) is a centralised procurement authority (CPA) and information in respect of CHIC and a schedule of current CHIC Members can be found on the CHIC website:www.chicltd.co.uk and a list of current members is also found in the draft Framework Agreement. CHIC is procuring the Framework Agreements on behalf of all Authorised Users as described in the Framework Agreement",
                "description": "Frameworks for all lots will be expected to offer call off contracts for Suppliers to provide comprehensive materials, merchant and associated services to Authorised Users as defined in the Framework Agreement, which deliver responsive repairs, void property maintenance , planned investment programmes, retrofit works, newbuild construction and compliance works through directly managed operational workforces (direct labour organisations /in - house contractors, which may be operational team(s) or subsidiary maintenance company) or through external contractors. These maintenance activities involve engineers with multiple and varied disciplines/trades, each of which needs to have a specific van stock and/or an agreed catalogue specific to the relevant work. Supplier prices within the framework may be established in several ways: Suppliers will submit core price lists, rates, product catalogues, as part of the framework tender. These form the baseline prices available for direct award and desktop evaluation. Due to market fluctuations, CHIC will work with suppliers on a quarterly basis to ensure pricing is current, value for money and reasonable reflects market conditions. For project-specific or high-value requirements, members may seek refreshed pricing through a mini-competition. This enables suppliers to tailor prices to scope, volume, delivery timescales and specific technical requirements. Indexation (e.g., CPI, material indices) is not routinely accepted and should be supported by evidence from manufacturers, or annual review as defined in the framework terms. Where relevant, suppliers provide an agreed catalogue or schedule of rates that covers commonly purchased items. Members may draw directly from these catalogues for predictable, repeat orders. Overall, pricing under the framework aims to provide transparency, value for money, and a compliant audit trail for members. Member mini competitions will assess both quality and price, each of which will have a weighting applied. The weighting given to quality and pricing will be determined at point of mini competition with 100% overall marks available. Mini competitions will be evaluated by a scoring team comprising representatives of the CHIC member as well as CHIC and evaluated in accordance with the weighted percentages as stated in the mini competition submission Instructions. Direct Award is evaluated via a business case, taking into consideration a range of varying elements and not simply price. CHIC will support the assessment and development of a compliant business case."
