## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Aster Group Limited involves securing transitional arrangements for materials supply under the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Material Goods and Associated Services Framework. This process falls under the goods category, specifically targeting building materials, and encompasses various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and more. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 30th March 2026, with operations intended to start in April 2026. The purchasing procedure was carried out through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to the regulatory frameworks active prior to the Procurement Act 2023. The contract, entitled "Materials - Transitional Arrangements", has been awarded to Crown Paints and is valued at £1,950,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those supplying building materials, to establish and strengthen their presence within the public procurement sector. With Aster Group Limited acting as the pioneering housing association, businesses with large-scale operations and capacity to supply a wide range of materials across multiple regions in the UK would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. Due to the specific nature of the call-off arrangement, companies that can demonstrate operational stability and continuity of supply will find themselves at a significant advantage for similar opportunities in the future.

## Notice

Aster needs to retain the existing incumbent materials suppliers under compliant, time-limited call-off arrangements to ensure continuity of supply and operational stability from April 2026 while the next generation materials strategy is progressed. This is a compliant framework call off via the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Material Goods and Associated Services Framework. This is a PCR 2015 compliant route to market (framework procured prior to Procurement Act 2023).
