Summary of the contracting process

Karbon Homes bought kitchen furniture, kitchen equipment and related bathroom and kitchen articles under its Supply and Distribution of Kitchens requirement. The work covers the North East of England and forms part of the Prosper Supply and Distribution of Kitchens Framework, Lot 1. This is a call-off procurement for supplying and distributing kitchen products to support Karbon Homes’ housing activities. The buyer is Karbon Homes, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is primarily for goods rather than construction or consultancy services, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, kitchen suppliers, distributors, merchants and specialist joinery businesses able to provide kitchen furniture and equipment for housing projects in the North East.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, as a call-off from the Prosper framework. Joinery & Timber Creations (65) Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and has a value of £22,687,317. Evaluation placed 70% of the weighting on quality and 30% on price. One bid was recorded, and it came from an SME. The procurement was conducted under the framework’s North East lot. The published process describes the award as voluntary and records the call-off as an award under framework reference DN679290.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Karbon Homes for an integrated kitchen supply and distribution capability in the North East. A credible future competitor would need to source or manufacture kitchen furniture and equipment, manage product quality consistently, and distribute reliably to housing-related delivery points. The evaluation weighting shows that quality mattered considerably more than price, so businesses should be able to evidence robust specifications, dependable fulfilment, product consistency and service performance rather than compete on cost alone. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business with sufficient operational capacity. Kitchen manufacturers, joinery firms, trade distributors and coordinated supply partnerships are the most relevant profiles.
