UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Procurement for Housing (PfH) organisation, located in Birchwood, Warrington, United Kingdom, is in the planning stage of tendering for a new Materials Supply Framework, set to commence on 1 April 2027. This endeavour aims to replace the existing framework expiring on 31 March 2027, ensuring continuity for procurement processes. The pre-market engagement activity is currently scheduled, with the official tender launch anticipated around June or July 2026. Suppliers are invited to participate in the preliminary engagement by submitting feedback by 9 March 2026, to shape the forthcoming framework. The materials supply industry, particularly building materials, represents the sectoral focus of this procurement, catering predominantly to the sub-central government public authority category.

This procurement provides an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in providing building materials to expand their market presence by securing positions on a substantial framework valued at an estimated £1.6 billion net. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework agreement includes clauses supporting their involvement. Businesses with expertise in the provision of goods, particularly those operating within or seeking to enter the UK market, should consider engaging with this opportunity. The procurement process emphasises gathering market insights and enabling participants to influence tender documentation before the official announcement, allowing for tailored offerings aligned with market demands and enhancing competitiveness.
