Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing Ltd (trading as PfH Scotland), acting as a central purchasing body, is seeking suppliers for a national framework covering building and construction materials for the social housing sector. The scope is divided into 16 lots covering plumbing, heating and gas materials; electrical materials; general building materials; aids and adaptations; national consortia and buying groups; managed stores and managed services; renewable and retrofit materials; on-demand supplies supported by branch networks; kitchen materials for planned, responsive and reactive works; and van-stock management technology. Suppliers may provide goods, managed supply solutions or technology, depending on the lot. Delivery and use are across the United Kingdom, with separate national, Scottish and Welsh requirements for several material categories. The main procurement category is goods, with CPV classification 44111000 for construction materials.

The process has reached tender: PfH Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The framework has an estimated upper value of £1,538,000,000, in GBP, and is intended to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. Offers were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00, with bids opened at that time; bids were required to remain valid until 9 October 2026. There are 16 lots, and suppliers can bid for any number of them. The framework is expected to have up to 20 participants. Evaluation is generally based on quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%; the Scottish and Welsh lots for plumbing, electrical and building materials use 70% quality and 30% price. Electronic payment and ordering apply, electronic invoicing is allowed, and variants are not permitted.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, builders’ merchants, specialist trade suppliers, buying groups and technology providers serving social housing and construction customers. Relevant capability may include dependable supply of plumbing, heating, gas, electrical, building, kitchen, renewable-energy, retrofit or accessibility products; managed stores or managed services; branch-based on-demand delivery; and systems for controlling van stock. Suppliers should be able to support national or country-specific distribution at the scale required by housing-sector customers, or offer a focused regional or specialist service. The lots also suit consortia and independent-merchant buying groups able to coordinate supply. Technology businesses with solutions for materials ordering, stock visibility and van-stock management may fit the dedicated technology lot. The requirement includes community benefits, with detailed expectations set out in the tender documents.
