Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £32,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The buyer expects to buy this again around January 2034.

What the notice says

Great Places Housing Group (GPHG) operates a warehouse Distribution Centre in Trafford Park, Manchester, through which it provides building repairs and other materials to repairs and grounds maintenance operatives and other staff as required. These materials may be distributed out of the warehouse, delivered direct to site, or picked up by operatives from suppliers' premises as appropriate. GPHG is establishing an open framework for the provision of these goods, made up of 11 Lots defined by the category of goods required. GPHG expects that Lots will likely be re-opened at different frequencies (for instance, high volume & high cost lots may be re-opened annually, whilst other may be re-opened bi- or tri- annually).
