Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council has completed an open procurement process to appoint a supplier for the delivery and supply of timber and associated accessories. The procurement involved awarding a contract to Huws Gray Ltd, based in Llangefni, Anglesey. The contract spans from 28 February 2026 to 27 February 2029, with potential for renewal. The council's aim is to facilitate timber access for their Housing Repairs and Maintenance Team and other council sites across East Suffolk. The industry category for this procurement process falls under 'Timber' and 'Timber Products'. The total contract value is £250,000 with a gross amount of £300,000 GBP.

This tender creates robust opportunities for businesses in the timber supply industry, particularly those capable of providing a broad range of products and flexible delivery schedules. Businesses with over-the-counter services and efficient distribution networks would be well-suited to meet the council's needs. The open procedure and comprehensive delivery requirements suggest that larger suppliers, like Huws Gray, could leverage their scale to accommodate the procurement's demands and expand their service offerings in public sector contracts, thereby fostering further business growth.
