Summary of the contracting process

Great Yarmouth Borough Council purchased building, plumbing and electrical materials and equipment for its repairs and maintenance team. The requirement covers goods used to support repair and maintenance activity for council services in Great Yarmouth and the surrounding delivery area. The council is the buying organisation, and the procurement was for goods rather than construction works or a maintenance service. The supply scope is broad across three related trade areas: general building materials, plumbing products and electrical equipment. This is relevant to merchants, manufacturers, distributors and public-sector supply specialists able to provide reliable access to these materials for a local authority repairs operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Great Yarmouth Borough Council awarded the requirement to STARK BUILDING MATERIALS UK LIMITED on 23 June 2026. The award value was £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period ran from 14 August 2026 to 15 August 2026. The associated contract was cancelled on 17 August 2026 because the UK06 notice was raised in error and a UK07 notice was to be generated. The award itself is recorded as active, with one completed lot covering the building, plumbing and electrical materials requirement.

This award indicates established local-authority demand for a combined supply of building, plumbing and electrical materials to support a repairs and maintenance team. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a broad product range across all three areas, dependable stock availability, responsive order fulfilment and the distribution capacity to serve Great Yarmouth and its surrounding delivery area. The incumbent is a large building-materials supplier, so businesses competing with it would need to demonstrate comparable purchasing access, supply-chain resilience and public-sector service capability. Merchants, manufacturers, specialist distributors and smaller firms able to combine their ranges may find the requirement commercially relevant when the council next reviews this type of supply.
