Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has established a framework for the supply and delivery of electrical materials (CPV 31681410). It is a goods requirement, intended to provide electrical materials for the Housing Executive’s needs. Deliveries are to Northern Ireland. The framework covers one lot and allows the Housing Executive to place call-off contracts by reopening competition among framework suppliers. This is a purchasing route for suppliers of electrical materials able to supply and deliver across Northern Ireland, rather than a contract for electrical installation or other works.

The procurement is complete and the framework places have been awarded to CAE Engineering & Architecture Ltd, City Electrical Factors Limited, City Plumbing Supplies Holdings Limited, Eastower NI Ltd, Edmundson Electrical Limited, Esdeclom Limited, Haldane Fisher Limited, Macnaughton Blair Limited and YESSS (A) Electrical Ltd. The award date was 6 October 2026. The framework period is 20 October 2026 to 19 October 2029, with options available as set out in the tender documentation. Its estimated value is £1,525,000 excluding VAT (£1,830,000 including VAT). The Housing Executive used an open competitive flexible procedure. Framework places were awarded as described in the tender documentation; call-off contracts are evaluated on cost alone. Nine suppliers reached the final stage.

This award shows recurring demand from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive for the supply and delivery of electrical materials across Northern Ireland, with purchasing through a closed framework and call-off competitions based entirely on cost. A credible future competitor would need to source and supply a broad enough range of electrical materials, handle reliable delivery across the region, and price competitively for individual call-offs. The nine suppliers reaching the final stage included both SMEs and large businesses, indicating that suppliers of different sizes competed successfully. Electrical wholesalers and distributors with established product sourcing, fulfilment and delivery capability are the closest fit; general electrical contractors whose offer centres on installation rather than materials supply are less directly aligned.
