Summary of the contracting process

London & Quadrant Housing Trust is buying sanitaryware for housing projects through a multi-lot supply framework. Lot 1 covers supply-only sanitaryware for new-build developments, while Lot 2 covers supply-only sanitaryware for major works and refurbishment programmes. The requirement is for goods rather than installation or construction services. Deliveries are intended across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The framework is intended to support continuity of supply, quality and value for money. L&Q expects to appoint at least two suppliers, while reserving discretion to appoint more or fewer following the procurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for both lots.

The procurement has reached tender: L&Q invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It comprises a selection questionnaire, invitation to tender, and potentially negotiation followed by a best and final offer, although L&Q may award after the tender stage. Bids were due by 9 November 2026 at 12:00, with award expected by 14 January 2027. The framework is scheduled to run from 27 January 2027 to 27 January 2031, comprising an initial two-year term with a possible two-year extension. Lot 1 is valued at £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT); Lot 2 at £5 million excluding VAT (£6 million including VAT). The stated total is £6.5 million excluding VAT (£7.8 million including VAT). Evaluation is 60% quality and 40% price for each lot.

This opportunity suits sanitaryware manufacturers, distributors and specialist bathroom-product suppliers able to provide reliable supply for new-build, major-works and refurbishment programmes across England. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate product quality and compete on price, as quality carries greater weight than price in evaluation. The framework requires bidders to offer fixed pricing for at least 12 months from commencement, so suitable businesses need robust pricing, manufacturing or distribution capacity and supply-chain planning. L&Q also requires social value equivalent to 1% of the end-of-year contract value and expects plot-based rebates where applicable, making social-value delivery and commercial rebate arrangements relevant capabilities. The framework may use direct awards based on fixed Schedule of Rates pricing, with or without reopening competition. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to maintain agreed rates and fulfil repeat orders consistently.
