Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process for the "CPU 8339 Supply of Plumbing & Heating Materials" contract. This open procedure is aimed at establishing a single supplier framework for the supply of goods such as copper pipes, plastic piping, boilers, and various plumbing and heating equipment. The procurement, which falls under the category of goods, is valued at roughly £12.225 million excluding VAT, with a gross amount of £14.67 million. The tender process is scheduled to end on the 17th of June 2026, with the contract award period concluding on the 16th of July 2026. This initiative focuses on serving Nottingham, particularly the UKF14 region, and is part of a larger framework agreement managed by the Council's housing services.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in plumbing and heating materials to partner with Nottingham City Council as a reliable supplier. The framework is particularly well-suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, given its design for a single supplier without reopening competition. Successful participation can elevate a supplier's profile in the public sector and secure stable revenue over the contract period from July 2026 to July 2030. Businesses with expertise in insulation materials, pipe fittings, and heating controls are especially encouraged to consider this contract as a growth avenue, offering scope to engage deeply with the Council's extensive housing maintenance projects.
