These products constitute the core list and must remain in stock at all times. The Supplier must be able to deliver them within 48 hours of the order being placed. The core list is not fixed throughout the life of the Contract. Firstly, because it is difficult to condense the Council's requirements into a single list. Secondly, because the Council's requirements may change over time. The Supplier will add items to the core list if requested. Ongoing spend analysis will reveal which popular items need to be added. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081669-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £375,000 | | Lots value | £375,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TAMESIDE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | ASHTON UNDER LYNE | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL6 0GS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD35 Greater Manchester South East | | Local authority | Tameside | | Electoral ward | St Peter's | | Westminster constituency | Ashton-under-Lyne | | Delivery location | TLD3 Greater Manchester | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44511000 - Hand tools ## Release History - 10 Dec 2025 at 16:21 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081669-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081669-2025 10th December 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=6bd14cf4-a5cb-f011-813a-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
