Electrical Building Materials

This expression of interest enquiry is designed primarily to assess and to determine the interested parties who can provide Nottingham City Council with the provision of the supply of building materials pertaining to the following:

Electrical materials - Electrical accessories, fittings, showers, fires and associated electrical materials.

Nottingham City Council Housing Services has an electrical repairs team that carry out approximately 22,000 electrical repairs annually within the North, South, East and West of the City of Nottingham. Therefore, it is essential that they have easy access to materials as locally as possible to complete all planned maintenance or responsive repairs. These materials need to be available at the right price, right quantity, right place at the right time to provide efficiency of time for engineers and a first time fix for tenants.

The Invoicing of goods is required daily to support NCC objectives for closing repair jobs with tenants and should be supplied electronically. Suppliers should be capable of supplying products at competitive prices, demonstrating reliability to deliver on commitments and working for the long term on the basis of continuous improvement and innovation.

We would anticipate the value of orders to be between £500,000.00 and 1 million per year.

Contractors must understand that predicting volumes and therefore overall values for work is difficult and no guarantee is given regarding continuity or overall value and will, therefore, not be able to claim for loss of profit, or any other costs resulting from an alteration in the scope or volume.

The contract is being procured by NCC for a period of 24 months with the option for NCC to extend for a further 12 months.

NB
This expression of interest enquiry is for information only at this stage, the full set of documents will be issued with the Invitation to Tender later.
