Summary of the contracting process

Bernicia Group procured building materials and associated supply services to support property repairs. The requirement covers the provision of materials rather than construction or repair labour. Work and deliveries are associated with Ashington in Northumberland. The buyer is Bernicia Group, a public-law body involved in housing and community amenities. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering building materials for its property repair activity. It was linked to the building materials category, with the stated purpose of supplying the materials needed to carry out repairs to the buyer’s properties. This is therefore relevant to merchants, manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers able to provide a broad range of building materials for housing maintenance and repair work in the Ashington area.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Stark Building Materials UK Limited. The contract value is £400,000 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 17 February 2026. The buyer used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the Procurement for Housing framework for Material Supply & Associated Services, Lot 3: Building Materials. The procedure was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The tender covered one lot, described as building materials for property repairs, and that lot is recorded as cancelled even though the award is active. The framework route and the award demonstrate the buyer’s chosen procurement channel for this requirement.

This award is commercially relevant to established building-materials suppliers serving social housing repair programmes. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to a broad building-materials range, robust ordering and fulfilment processes, and the capacity to support recurring property repair demand for a public housing organisation. The requirement favoured a supplier able to compete primarily on price, so competitive pricing, reliable availability and efficient distribution would be important. Experience of the Procurement for Housing framework, particularly its building-materials arrangements, would also be directly relevant because this buyer used that route for the award. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the operational scale, service consistency and public-sector procurement experience needed to support repairs across the buyer’s housing stock in and around Ashington.
