## Summary

The Great Places Housing Group Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Manchester, has initiated a procurement process for the supply of property maintenance and construction materials. This procurement is at the planning update stage, with a preliminary market engagement scheduled to conclude on 28th November 2025. The engagement aims to develop an open framework consisting of various lots based on goods categories and potentially geographic areas. The process is anticipated to involve several stages, including gauging supplier interest, determining supplier numbers per lot, defining lot specifications, and exploring pricing mechanisms. The procurement value is approximately GBP 44 million, targeting locations across the UK, particularly regions UKD and UKE3. The contract period is expected to run from May 2026 to April 2034.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs capable of supplying construction materials, repair goods, and other allied products. The envisaged open framework will allow numerous suppliers to participate, creating a competitive environment favourable for innovation and fair pricing. Suppliers of construction materials, such as timber, rubber, plastic materials, electrical supplies, and various fabricated products, will find this an ideal opportunity to secure long-term contracts. The framework's structure, allowing lots to reopen at different frequencies, ensures continued access to opportunities and potential adjustments based on market changes. With the planned procurement process framework, businesses can align their growth strategies with GPHG's extensive requirements, ensuring a strategic partnership with a prominent public authority.

## Notice

Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) is seeking to appoint suppliers of a wide range of construction and allied goods and materials, primarily used in maintenance and repair, but also for some materials used in domestic new-build construction. GPHG currently envisages an open framework which will have a number of lots corresponding to the categories of goods supplied.

### Planning Information

Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) operates a warehouse Distribution Centre in Trafford Park, Manchester, through which it provides building repairs and other materials to repairs and grounds maintenance operatives and other staff as required. These materials may be distributed out of the warehouse, delivered direct to site, or picked up by operatives from suppliers' premises as appropriate.
In addition, GPHG may seek to procure bulk construction materials, for example bricks, block and joinery materials, for the new build construction of domestic dwellings.
GPHG currently envisages establishing an open framework for the provision of these goods, made up of a number of Lots defined by the category of goods required, and possibly by geographical areas served for certain categories of materials.
GPHG expects that Lots will likely be re-opened at different frequencies (for instance, high volume & high cost lots may be re-opened annually, whilst other may be re-opened bi- or tri- annually).
This engagement seeks to:
a) gauge the numbers of suppliers interested in supplying the various categories of goods across GPHG areas
b) assist in determining the number of suppliers required or permitted on each specific lot
c) determine what will be the most efficient and appropriate number of lots
d) help determine the definitions and scope of the individual lots
e) assist in understanding how closely goods required should be specified
f) determine how various pricing mechanisms may be approached in a fair and open manner in tenders
g) assess how delivery lead times, price review mechanisms and invoicing requirements might be specified in tender requirements
Responses are sought electronically via reply to an MS Forms survey:
https://forms.office.com/e/wWtcP9bJG2
