Homecare - Supply of Materials 2027

Abri, trading as The Swaythling Housing Society Ltd., is implementing a new corporate strategy for 2026‑2031 that centres on a “home and place standard” for its 58,000 homes. To underpin this strategy and ensure compliance with its ambitions for customer experience, safety, environmental sustainability, and quality, the organisation requires a reliable supply chain that can deliver materials for routine maintenance and repair across all properties in the UK.

The procurement covers three distinct lots: Lot 1 calls for building materials for maintenance and repairs, including consumables, painting, glazing, floorings, kitchen and bathroom components, and plant hire; Lot 2 covers gas parts for heating and plumbing, encompassing boilers, heat pumps, piping, valves, and related consumables; Lot 3 concerns electrical consumables such as cabling, trunking, consumer units, and plant hire. The contract is intended to deliver these supplies throughout the portfolio, with potential expansion, and will support both planned and responsive works. Suppliers may bid for multiple lots, but each lot will be awarded to a single contractor based on confidence in delivery and due diligence.

All supplied goods must conform to the UK health and safety, environmental and quality standards specified in the tender documentation.
