Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council established a multi-supplier framework for hardware and joinery supplies for its own requirements. The goods include general fasteners such as wall plugs, screws, anchors, nuts, bolts and washers; general hardware including washing poles, rotary dryers and roofing and carriage bolts; spur shelving; architectural ironmongery; garage doors and spare parts; power-tool accessories; metal fastenings; and miscellaneous supplies including foam, cleaners, hand tools, ratchet straps, safety tags and signage. Deliveries are to the Council’s stores at Gremista in Lerwick, Shetland. This is a goods procurement covering construction, maintenance, repair and joinery supply requirements, with the main classification being CPV 44316000, covering hardware.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure for an electronic, multi-supplier framework with up to four participants. Bids closed at 12:00 on 27 April 2026, with award activity beginning that day; contracts were signed on 29 July 2026. Each of the eight lots has an estimated contract value of £50,000: General Fasteners was awarded to GPH Builders Merchants, Würth UK, Huws Gray Ltd and DITT Construction Ltd; General Hardware to the same four; Spur Shelving, Architectural Ironmongery, Power Tool Accessories and Miscellaneous to DITT, GPH and Huws Gray; Garage Doors and Spares to GPH and Huws Gray; and Metal Fastenings to Huws Gray, DITT, GPH and Würth UK. Each lot runs for 720 days, with two possible 12-month renewals. Four electronic bids, all from SMEs, were received for every lot.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Shetland Islands Council for a broad, practical range of maintenance and building supplies delivered to Lerwick. The successful supplier group shows that credible competitors can include builders’ merchants, specialist hardware distributors and local construction businesses, with capability either across several product lines or in a focused category. Relevant strengths include dependable sourcing of fixings, ironmongery, shelving, garage-door components, power-tool consumables, hand tools and associated maintenance products, together with reliable fulfilment to the Council’s stores. Suppliers should be able to support electronic ordering and payment processes, handle repeat public-sector supply requirements and offer consistent product availability across the relevant lot or lots. The four-bid, all-SME field indicates a competitive market accessible to established smaller businesses.
