Summary of the contracting process

Broadland Housing Association Limited buys general building materials for its in-house team of around 70 operatives. Supplies support the association’s maintenance programme, covering reactive repairs, work to empty properties and planned works. The requirement includes construction and building materials, including paving and plumbing materials. Deliveries are for Broadland’s work in Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area. This is a supply contract rather than a construction works contract: the buyer’s operatives use the materials to carry out maintenance. The awarded suppliers are Huws Gray Ltd and Travis Perkins, indicating that the requirement was met through suppliers of general building materials able to serve Broadland’s operational needs.

The procurement was awarded following an open procedure. Huws Gray Ltd and Travis Perkins were selected for the single lot; the award was made on 17 April 2026. The award and contract value is £1.2 million excluding VAT (£1.44 million including VAT). The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and runs from 6 May 2026 to 5 May 2028, with an option for Broadland to extend it by a further two years, at its discretion, to 5 May 2030. Evaluation weighted quality at 70%: 50% for the quality assessment and 20% for interview and presentation, van stock and app demonstration. Price carried 30%. Two bids reached the final stage. The lot was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Broadland, this award shows demand for a broad building-materials range serving housing maintenance, including reactive repairs, empty-property work and planned programmes. A credible competitor would need reliable supply across construction, general building, paving and plumbing materials, and the capacity to support an in-house team of around 70 operatives. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, with substantial attention to an interview and presentation, van stock and an app demonstration. Suppliers should therefore be ready to demonstrate service quality and practical stock and ordering arrangements, alongside competitive pricing. The SME suitability designation indicates that smaller suppliers may be appropriate, while the award to two large merchants shows the type of established materials suppliers that satisfied this competition.
