Summary: North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) plans to retender its Facilities Supplies framework, covering supply of air filters, electrical materials and equipment, and plumbing, sanitary and heating supplies. One proposed lot would also cover fitting, maintenance, removal and disposal of air filters; other lots include associated products and services for electrical and plumbing/heating supplies. The framework is intended for use across the UK, with separate proposed lots for Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the electrical and plumbing/heating categories. Air-filter lots are proposed for the UK. The procurement combines goods with related services and is relevant to suppliers and service providers in these facilities-maintenance supply chains.
