Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council’s Housing Services procured flooring materials for use in Nottingham. The supply covers vinyl floor tiles and sheet vinyl, floor preparation and levelling products, repair compounds, primers and adhesives, as well as trims, profiles, flooring tools and related accessories and materials. This is a goods supply requirement, rather than a flooring installation contract. The arrangement is intended to provide the Council’s housing service with a source for the materials used in its flooring work. The requirement brings together floor coverings and the associated consumables, tools and finishing products under one supply arrangement.

The procurement is complete: Huws Gray Limited was selected as the single supplier and the contract is active. The award was made on 4 September 2026; the contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its value is £1,000,000 including VAT (£833,333 excluding VAT). The Council used an open procedure to establish a single-supplier framework, with call-offs made by direct award without reopening competition. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and quality at 30%; price comprised two parts weighted at 60% and 10%. The tender deadline was 3 June 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 27 May 2026. Seven bids were received, with five reaching the final stage.

For suppliers competing when Nottingham City Council next buys this requirement, the award indicates demand for a broad, coordinated range of flooring materials rather than installation services. A credible competitor would need to supply vinyl tiles and sheet flooring alongside preparation, levelling and repair products, primers, adhesives, trims, profiles, tools and associated accessories. The single-supplier model favours a business able to cover the full product range and support the Council through a straightforward direct-award call-off arrangement. The evaluation placed greater weight on price than quality, so competitive pricing across the different product groups would matter alongside dependable product quality and the ability to meet the housing service’s supply needs. The process attracted seven bids, including five that reached the final stage.
