Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council Housing Services procured a single-supplier framework for the supply of plumbing and heating materials to support housing maintenance in Nottingham. The requirement covers copper pipes, plastic piping, pipe fittings such as elbows, tees and couplings, stopcocks, valves, flexible hoses, radiators, boilers, heating controls and thermostats. It also includes pumps, expansion vessels, sanitaryware including basins, toilets and taps, water tanks, cylinders, insulation, sealants, jointing compounds, plumbing tools and other plumbing and heating accessories. This is a goods supply opportunity, covering heating equipment, plumbing equipment and hot-water boilers. The framework is closed and allows direct call-offs from the appointed supplier without reopening competition.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an above-threshold open procedure. One lot was evaluated on price weighted at 70% and quality weighted at 30%; four final-stage bids were received, including one from an SME. UK Plumbing Supplies Limited was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026. The award is worth £12,225,000 excluding VAT, or £14,670,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2030. The framework contract period was stated as 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2030. The award provides for one participant and call-offs without reopening competition. A signature milestone was scheduled for 11 September 2026.

This result identifies a recurring, consolidated supply requirement for a council housing-maintenance operation, rather than a one-off specialist installation project. A credible future competitor would need broad stockholding and dependable distribution across plumbing and heating materials, including pipework, fittings, valves, boilers, radiators, controls, sanitaryware, tanks, insulation and associated consumables and tools. The successful supplier must be able to support routine maintenance demand across a wide product range, maintain reliable availability and fulfil orders consistently for a public-sector housing service. The evaluation shows that price was the dominant consideration, while quality remained material. Suppliers of different sizes may find the requirement suitable, provided they can demonstrate the range, operational capacity and service reliability needed for a single-supplier arrangement.
