Summary of the contracting process

Magenta Living is procuring a combined merchant materials supply and waste management service for its responsive repairs, empty-home works, planned maintenance, investment programmes and environmental services. The requirement covers electrical materials, domestic furniture, construction materials and associated items, together with refuse and waste-related services. It is primarily a goods supply contract, supported by waste management services. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. The supplier will need to support Magenta Living’s operational repair and maintenance activity, providing reliable access to a broad range of materials as well as associated waste services. This may suit merchants, builders’ merchants, materials distributors, furniture suppliers and waste management companies, including collaborative bids combining these capabilities.

The procurement has reached tender: Magenta Living has invited offers through an open procedure. It has one lot, with an estimated value of £44,000,000 excluding VAT and £52,800,000 including VAT. Enquiries close at 17:00 on 15 September 2026, and tenders must be submitted electronically by 13:00 on 28 September 2026 through the Magenta Living e-sourcing portal. The planned contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend for up to five years on a 2+2+1 basis, potentially to 31 March 2037. The award decision is scheduled by 4 December 2026. Evaluation is 60% quality and 40% price; quality covers 11 scored areas including mobilisation, supply availability, van stocks, technology, responsible sourcing, continuity, training and social value.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide dependable, wide-ranging materials availability alongside waste management, with the operational capacity to serve repair, void-property, planned maintenance and environmental service programmes. Strong bidders will be able to demonstrate effective mobilisation, service delivery and stock management, including suitable van stocks and resilient supply arrangements. The requirement rewards capable information technology, performance monitoring, management information, KPI control and clear risk management, business continuity and disaster recovery arrangements. Responsible sourcing, continuous improvement, training, workforce skills and social value are important parts of the quality assessment. Suppliers should also be prepared to explain their exit strategy and meet the buyer’s economic and technical selection requirements. This is likely to favour established merchants, distributors, waste operators or well-managed multi-service partnerships with relevant public-sector or comparable operational experience.
