UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great Places Housing Group Limited, a public authority operating as a sub-central government, has initiated an open tender process for the provision of property maintenance and construction materials. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 7th September 2026. The framework, based in the UK, is designed to distribute materials via a warehouse Distribution Centre located in Trafford Park, Manchester, and potentially include sites across other regions like UKE3. The procurement method is open, inviting suppliers to tender for 11 Lots, including categories like electrical apparatus, construction materials, and plumbing supplies. The contract is valid from 2nd November 2026 to 31st October 2034, with a total value of GBP 32 million net. The framework agreement allows reopening at varying frequencies and flexibility to adapt to procurement needs over time.

This open framework provides significant opportunities for businesses aiming to partner with Great Places Housing Group in supplying necessary materials for building maintenance and domestic new-build construction. The tender includes provisions for different supplier lots, meaning specialised businesses in sectors like electrical supplies, painting, roofing, plumbing, and timber will find suitable categories for participation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are explicitly encouraged to apply, particularly those with capabilities to deliver promptly within the required timescales to Great Places' distribution centre. The framework's provision to reopen competition for high-demand lots regularly suggests sustainable and recurring business opportunities for versatile suppliers. Furthermore, the breadth of the framework allows businesses to leverage cross-lot supply capabilities to maximise their market engagement versatility, making this tender a robust avenue for long-term business growth.

Planning Information

Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) operates a warehouse Distribution Centre in Trafford Park, Manchester, through which it provides building repairs and other materials to repairs and grounds maintenance operatives and other staff as required. These materials may be distributed out of the warehouse, delivered direct to site, or picked up by operatives from suppliers' premises as appropriate. In addition, GPHG may seek to procure bulk construction materials, for example bricks, block and joinery materials, for the new build construction of domestic dwellings. GPHG currently envisages establishing an open framework for the provision of these goods, made up of a number of Lots defined by the category of goods required, and possibly by geographical areas served for certain categories of materials. GPHG expects that Lots will likely be re-opened at different frequencies (for instance, high volume & high cost lots may be re-opened annually, whilst other may be re-opened bi- or tri- annually). This engagement seeks to: a) gauge the numbers of suppliers interested in supplying the various categories of goods across GPHG areas b) assist in determining the number of suppliers required or permitted on each specific lot c) determine what will be the most efficient and appropriate number of lots d) help determine the definitions and scope of the individual lots e) assist in understanding how closely goods required should be specified f) determine how various pricing mechanisms may be approached in a fair and open manner in tenders g) assess how delivery lead times, price review mechanisms and invoicing requirements might be specified in tender requirements Responses are sought electronically via reply to an MS Forms survey: https://forms.office.com/e/wWtcP9bJG2 The survey should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Respondents must declare any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. Deadline for responses: 28th November 2025 Great Places reserves the right to extend this deadline at its discretion. Great Places reserves the right to conduct additional pre-market engagement not described in this notice to help meet the objectives of the PME. For example, this may include phone calls, email correspondence, follow up surveys etc. This notice is issued in accordance with Sections 16 and 17 of the Procurement Act 2023 and is for preliminary market engagement only.

                "description": "Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) operates a warehouse Distribution Centre in Trafford Park, Manchester, through which it provides building repairs and other materials to repairs and grounds maintenance operatives and other staff as required. These materials may be distributed out of the warehouse, delivered direct to site, or picked up by operatives from suppliers' premises as appropriate. In addition, GPHG may seek to procure bulk construction materials, for example bricks, block and joinery materials, for the new build construction of domestic dwellings. GPHG currently envisages establishing an open framework for the provision of these goods, made up of a number of Lots defined by the category of goods required, and possibly by geographical areas served for certain categories of materials. GPHG expects that Lots will likely be re-opened at different frequencies (for instance, high volume & high cost lots may be re-opened annually, whilst other may be re-opened bi- or tri- annually). This engagement seeks to: a) gauge the numbers of suppliers interested in supplying the various categories of goods across GPHG areas b) assist in determining the number of suppliers required or permitted on each specific lot c) determine what will be the most efficient and appropriate number of lots d) help determine the definitions and scope of the individual lots e) assist in understanding how closely goods required should be specified f) determine how various pricing mechanisms may be approached in a fair and open manner in tenders g) assess how delivery lead times, price review mechanisms and invoicing requirements might be specified in tender requirements Responses are sought electronically via reply to an MS Forms survey: https://forms.office.com/e/wWtcP9bJG2 The survey should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Respondents must declare any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. Deadline for responses: 28th November 2025 Great Places reserves the right to extend this deadline at its discretion. Great Places reserves the right to conduct additional pre-market engagement not described in this notice to help meet the objectives of the PME. For example, this may include phone calls, email correspondence, follow up surveys etc. This notice is issued in accordance with Sections 16 and 17 of the Procurement Act 2023 and is for preliminary market engagement only.",
