Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council Housing Services sought a single-supplier framework for the supply of ironmongery and fixings, classified as ironmongery (CPV 44316000). The goods include fasteners, nails, screws, bolts, locks, latches, sealants and adhesives, drill bits, and miscellaneous accessories and materials. The council is the buyer and the framework is intended to support its housing services. The requirement is for goods rather than installation, construction or consultancy services. A supplier would need to provide a broad range of commonly used building hardware and associated consumable materials, helping the council maintain and repair its housing stock. The framework covers the council’s housing-related purchasing requirements, with direct orders intended from the appointed single supplier.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers using an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English through the stated tendering portal. The deadline for enquiries was 3 June 2026 at 12:00, and the tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period was set from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2030. Its estimated value was £2,083,333 excluding VAT, or £2,500,000 including VAT. Bids were to be evaluated on 70% price and 30% quality, with price split between two pricing sections weighted at 60% and 10%. The procurement was cancelled on 16 September 2026. After clarifications, the authority said it would review the tender and anticipated publishing a revised opportunity in due course.

This opportunity suited suppliers able to source, stock and distribute a comprehensive range of ironmongery, fixings, adhesives, drilling accessories and related materials for housing maintenance. It was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so participation was not limited to large national distributors. The single-supplier structure favoured a business capable of providing reliable coverage across the full product range, maintaining adequate stock and fulfilling recurring direct orders over a multi-year framework. Strong product knowledge, dependable order handling and the ability to demonstrate quality in addition to competitive pricing would have been important, because quality accounted for 30% of the evaluation. The council indicated that a revised opportunity may follow.
