Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council bought the supply and delivery of building and timber materials, specifically kitchen units and worktops, for use in North Ayrshire. This was a goods requirement for the council’s building and construction activities. The procurement covered materials rather than installation or construction works. The relevant classification is CPV 39141400 for kitchen furniture, with associated classifications for kitchen equipment and joinery installation. Delivery was to the North Ayrshire area. The requirement was procured as a single lot under the Scotland Excel Construction Materials Framework, Sub-Lot 2.3, which covers kitchen units and worktops. The selected supplier was MKM Building Supplies, a large building materials distributor based in Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open mini-competition under the Scotland Excel SXL 14-22 Construction Materials Framework, Sub-Lot 2.3. Three electronic bids were received; none came from SMEs, and all three were from suppliers outside the EU. MKM Building Supplies was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026, has a value of £304,610, and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2028. North Ayrshire Council may, at its sole discretion and subject to satisfactory performance and funding, extend the contract by up to a further 24 months. The contract is active and is due to terminate at the end of its stated period unless otherwise advised under its terms.

This award shows established demand from North Ayrshire Council for kitchen units, worktops and associated building materials supplied through the Scotland Excel construction materials framework. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need framework access or a route to participate in the relevant call-offs, reliable stock of kitchen and timber products, and the operational capacity to deliver materials across North Ayrshire. A credible competitor would also need experience supplying public-sector or construction customers, dependable distribution from an appropriate depot network, and the ability to manage electronic tendering and framework mini-competitions. The outcome indicates that the requirement attracted several larger non-SME suppliers, so scale, product range, pricing discipline and consistent fulfilment are likely to matter when similar council requirements are next considered.
