In plain English

London & Quadrant Housing Trust is looking for manufacturers to supply brassware (taps, fittings, and related items) for housing developments. They're building a framework agreement split into two lots: one for new build projects and one for major refurbishment work. They plan to appoint at least two suppliers.

What the buyer wants

• Supply brassware items (taps, valves, fittings) either for new build developments (Lot 1) or major works and refurbishment programmes (Lot 2), or both • Offer fixed pricing for a minimum of 12 months from the start of the framework • Deliver social value equivalent to 1% of your end-of-year contract value (this means community benefit, training, local jobs, or environmental initiatives) • Provide plot-based rebates where applicable (volume discounts based on project size)

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is almost certainly unsuitable for small tradespeople like plumbers, electricians, or builders. The buyer is looking for manufacturers or large wholesalers who can supply items in bulk to multiple projects and hold framework agreements. If you're a sole trader or small team doing installation work, you won't qualify.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
