The Cirrus Consortium (The Consortium) is a procurement consortium that currently consists of in excess of 60 members including Registered Providers of Social Housing, Local Authorities, ALMOs and NHS Trusts. Members are based across England, Wales and Scotland, with additional organisations joining on a regular basis. The Cirrus Consortium is seeking to establish a new framework of multiple suppliers for the supply of building materials and associated services to expand upon The Consortium's existing highly successful materials framework. The Consortium is seeking bids for the following lots: - Lot 1: General building materials (including paint and tools) - Lot 2: Plumbing and heating materials (including gas spares and renewables) - Lot 3: Electrical materials - Lot 4: Kitchen materials - Lot 5: Managed stores Bidders can bid on one or more lots. The outcome of the tender process will be a four year framework agreement expected to commence during May 2016. It is envisaged that the final framework will be awarded to approximately 15 suppliers per lot for lots 1 to 4, and 6 suppliers for lot 5. The framework is to cover call-off contracts made within England, Scotland and Wales, but excludes Northern Ireland. The framework is available for use by all contracting authorities as defined by Regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102, including but not limited to the definable groups referenced in Schedule 4 of the Framework Agreement. The framework is also available for use by all current and future members of The Consortium. Call-off contracts will be awarded by contracting authorities in accordance with the rules as defined by Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102. For the avoidance of doubt, the trading and invoicing relationship will be directly between the relevant framework supplier(s) and the relevant contracting authority/authorities. Call-off contracts may be awarded on a direct award basis or through the use of mini-competitions as set out in the Framework Agreement. The duration and size of any call-off contract is likely to vary at the discretion of individual consortium members. Where mini-competitions are undertaken, consortium members reserve the right to amend and refine the relative weightings of elements where appropriate for call-off contracts. The specific mini-competition competitive award criteria and relative weightings will be set on a case by case basis. Submissions are to be submitted through the Cirrus Purchasing eTender facility only via the link: http://www.cirruspurchasing.co.uk/Tdocs/CCMFyLb95Pw/5h1mr73gD Additional information: Tender documents must be accessed through the Cirrus Purchasing eTender facility.
