Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aster Group Limited, a housing association based in Devizes, procured building materials and associated supply arrangements. The requirement was to retain incumbent materials suppliers through compliant, time-limited call-off arrangements, supporting continuity of supply and operational stability while Aster progressed its next-generation materials strategy. The goods were to be delivered across England, covering the buyer’s operating areas. The procurement used the Procurement for Housing Material Goods and Associated Services Framework, which provides a route for housing organisations to obtain materials and related services from framework suppliers. This is a goods requirement suited to businesses supplying construction and building materials to housing providers on a framework or call-off basis.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. It was a framework call-off under the Procurement for Housing Material Goods and Associated Services Framework, using the PCR 2015 route. The single bid was evaluated on price. Travis Perkins Trading Company Limited was awarded the contract, with a value of £150,000. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and is active. The procurement rationale was to retain incumbent suppliers for continuity of supply and operational stability from April 2026 while Aster developed its next-generation materials strategy. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

This outcome demonstrates established demand from Aster Group for dependable building-materials supply serving housing operations across England. A credible future competitor would need a broad materials offer, reliable fulfilment and the operational capacity to support continuity of supply across the buyer’s operating areas. Experience supplying housing associations or similar organisations would help demonstrate familiarity with planned and responsive maintenance requirements, service reliability and call-off purchasing. Suppliers would also need to understand how to operate through the Procurement for Housing Material Goods and Associated Services Framework, including its compliance requirements and call-off process. The award indicates that price was decisive, so a competitor would need commercially competitive pricing alongside dependable delivery and account management.
