The procurement seeks to establish a compliant, multi‑lot framework for the supply and fit of kitchens across the London & Quadrant Housing Trust portfolio. The framework is organised into three distinct lots: Lot 1 for new build developments requiring both supply and installation of kitchens; Lot 2 for major works and refurbishment programmes that will receive kitchen supplies exclusively; and Lot 3 for reactive void properties, also involving kitchen supply only. Each lot will be awarded under a flexible competitive procedure, with the first and third lots designated to solus suppliers and the second lot allocated to a primary supplier with a secondary supplier retained as contingency. The framework will be managed through L&Q’s e‑tendering portal, and no site visits or presentations will be requested during the selection process.

Lot 1 tasks the successful supplier with delivering turnkey kitchen solutions—providing all materials, fixtures and fittings, and executing full installation in accordance with the Trust’s design specifications. Lot 2 concentrates on supplying kitchen components for ongoing major renewal activities, ensuring materials are compatible with long‑term maintenance schedules. Lot 3 focuses on quick deployment to reactive void sites, supplying only the kitchen units with a streamlined delivery timeline. All three lots share the same overarching emphasis on quality, with the purchase price considered in the subsequent award deliberations.

The award will rely primarily on quality (60 %) and price (40 %) criteria, with suppliers having to demonstrate their ability to meet stringent industry standards. All kitchen products and installations must comply with current Building Regulations and satisfy L&Q’s minimum quality and safety requirements.

The “All Under One Roof” Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) announced by CHIC is a procurement framework for repair and maintenance services, identified by CPV code 50000000. It provides a centralised marketplace through which the consortium’s members and other qualifying public authorities in the United Kingdom can contract for repairs and upkeep of properties within the social housing sector. Under the Procurement Act 2023 and the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015, the DPS is scheduled to terminate on 27 October 2028, with any contracts awarded before that date remaining in force and governed thereafter by PCR 2015.

Participation remains open to all current and future members of CHIC as well as registered providers of social housing, local authorities, government departments, charities, NHS and health and social care groups, emergency services, educational institutions, and cultural facilities such as libraries and museums. The consortium estimates that contracts awarded through the DPS during its remaining lifespan could amount to around £300 million excluding VAT, but no exclusivity or guaranteed volume is provided, and members are free to pursue additional agreements with other suppliers. CHIC retains the right to review or amend the DPS every twelve months in accordance with PCR regulation 34(28).

All contracts awarded under this DPS will continue to be managed under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 until their termination.

The amendment to the CHIC Development Dynamic Purchasing System confirms that the system and its qualification framework, originally set up under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, will cease to operate on 27 October 2028. Contracts already awarded within the DPS will remain in force until their natural termination and will be managed in accordance with the rules of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, even if the DPS itself has ended. The system remains open for participation to current and future members of CHIC and to any registered provider of social housing, local authority, or other public contracting authority in the United Kingdom, including housing associations, government departments, registered charities, NHS groups, emergency services, schools, universities, libraries and museums.

The procurement subject concerns construction works identified by the main CPV code 45211000, covering works for multi‑dwelling buildings and individual houses. The dynamic purchasing system will facilitate the award of these works contracts throughout the remaining life of the DPS, allowing eligible contracting authorities to source construction services under a common framework.

All awarded works contracts must be compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

Shropshire Council is procuring an Operator Partner or Agency to manage and operate its leisure facilities across the county. The selected partner will be responsible for day‑to‑day operational management, ensuring that each venue delivers high‑quality services that meet or exceed established performance standards while maintaining a welcoming environment for all users.

The contract will commence on 1 April 2027 and run until 31 March 2030, with an optional extension of up to 24 months.
