Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is buying PVCU building products for its in-house repairs teams. The range includes architraves, skirting, liners and quadrants, alongside other PVCU profile sections and internal building fittings. Goods are to be delivered carriage paid to the Council’s stores in Oldbury, where stock is managed on a just-in-time basis. After each order, delivery is required within 48 hours. The stores accept goods Monday to Thursday from 9.00am to 3.30pm and on Fridays from 9.00am to 2.30pm. Products must conform to BS 7619:2010, the standard for extruded cellular unplasticised PVC profiles. This is a goods procurement for a single supply requirement.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 28 August 2026 at 5.00pm, and offers were due by 4 September 2026 at 3.00pm. Responses are submitted electronically through the Sandwell MBC In-tend Supplier Portal. The estimated procurement value is £102,000 excluding VAT, or £122,400 including VAT, in GBP. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. It is arranged as one requirement. The award criteria and evaluation methodology are set out in the invitation to tender documentation. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist building-material suppliers able to provide a range of PVCU profiles and internal fittings to the required standard. Suppliers need to demonstrate that their products conform to BS 7619:2010 and be able to support a just-in-time stock model. Operational capability is important: successful suppliers must accept orders as stock levels require and deliver carriage paid to Oldbury within 48 hours. The requirement is likely to favour businesses with dependable warehousing, responsive order processing, reliable transport arrangements and sufficient stock-holding capacity for repeated repairs-team orders. Firms must also be able to prepare and submit their tender electronically through the Council’s In-tend Supplier Portal.
