Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is seeking to engage in an open procurement process titled "Materials Supply through Managed Stores Service" aimed at establishing a contract to supply a wide range of housing repair materials. This active tender, initiated on 7th January 2026, encompasses goods such as electrical equipment, heating materials, and site safety items, with an estimated spend of £12 million over four years, extendable to £21.3 million over seven years. The project is geographically targeted within the UKK14 region, specifically Swindon, with the final deadline for expression of interest on 23rd February 2026. The contract aims to commence on 1st September 2026 and can be potentially renewed until 2033. The procurement is conducted under an open procedure, ensuring adherence to relevant UK legislation. The enquiry period ends on 10th February 2026, and the award announcement is expected by 10th April 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses supplying building materials, warehousing services, and various construction-related items. Companies capable of offering comprehensive solutions, including technology-based services for Click and Collect and Van Stock concepts, are well-suited to compete. Businesses that can effectively manage core stock and provide an innovative, quality-driven solution will find this opportunity particularly appealing. Moreover, the project assesses suppliers on factors such as quality, price, and social value, allowing businesses that prioritise value for money and supply chain efficiency to leverage their strengths. The open procedure offers an accessible platform for a broad range of suppliers to participate and contribute to Swindon’s housing material supply needs.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Materials Supply through Managed Stores Service

Notice Description

Swindon Borough Council is seeking to form a contract with a suitable provider for supply of broad range of housing repairs materials and other associated items including (but not limited to) electrical, heating, paints and decorative materials, Roofing, Windows and glass, kitchens, bathroom, ironmongery, sanitaryware, clothing, doors, power tools, aggregates, insulations, gas, plumbing, highways, street lighting, timber, fencing, site safety equipment, etc. The initial contract term will be for Four (4) years with an option to extend for a further Two (2) years plus a further One (1) year extension. Estimated contract spend is PS12m excl. VAT across the initial 4 year contract term and PS21.3m excl. VAT across the potential total Seven (7) year contract term. Associated risk with this procurement: The value of the contract can change over the contract duration (including extension) due to increase in housing stocks over the period of time or where major repair is to be undertaken across the housing stocks. The impact of this increase can be upto circa PS2m (10%) additional sums over contract duration. Implementation of technology-based services for Click and Collect and Van Stock concepts through NEC housing software (if implemented by SBC, else alternative platform) is within the scope but industry knowledge about implementation of these concepts within the NEC is sparce due to very limited implementation of these concepts on NEC platform across UK. This can impact the overall project and increase in implementation time and resources.
