This is a framework agreement for supplying electrical materials and components to UK government departments and public bodies. It's an open tender where electrical suppliers can apply to join a pre-approved list, after which they can bid on specific orders placed by government buyers.
Requirements
- Must be able to supply a wide range of electrical materials and components
- Must comply with UK health and safety regulations (likely including BS 7909 or equivalent standards for electrical safety)
- Must have quality assurance procedures in place
- Must be able to meet government procurement standards and contract terms
- Must provide proof of business registration and company details
- Likely requirement to hold appropriate insurance (employers' and public liability)
- Must be able to invoice and comply with government payment terms (usually 30 days)
- Check full tender documents for specific technical specifications, delivery timescales, and any certifications required (e.g., ISO 9001, IEC compliance)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply electrical materials and components on an as-needed basis when government departments place orders
- Deliver orders within agreed timescales (check documents for typical lead times)
- Maintain stock availability or demonstrate ability to source materials quickly
- Provide technical data sheets and documentation with deliveries
- Handle returns and warranty claims in line with contract terms
- Attend occasional meetings or provide progress updates if requested
How to Read This Tender
- 1Framework agreements aren't one-off contracts — you're buying a place on an approved supplier list. Once accepted, you compete on price and delivery when actual orders come in. Read the contract terms carefully as they'll apply to all future orders.
- 2Look for the 'Schedule of Rates' or 'Price Schedule' section — this is where you'll likely need to list the materials you supply and propose pricing. Government buyers use this to compare costs.
- 3Check the minimum order values, delivery locations, and whether you need to hold stock or can order on demand. Some frameworks require regional distribution or next-day delivery.
- 4Jargon alert: 'Call-off orders' means individual purchase orders placed against the framework. 'Framework period' is how long the agreement lasts (often 2–4 years). Make sure you can commit for the full period.
- 5The evaluation criteria usually include price, delivery timescale, and financial stability. Be realistic about what you can deliver — if you overcommit, you risk being removed from the list.
Tips for Small Businesses
- This is a good opportunity for SMEs because once you're on the list, you don't need to bid again for every order — but you do need working capital to hold stock or fulfill orders quickly. Make sure your cash flow can handle it.
- Consider partnering with a larger distributor if you can't supply the full range yourself. You can subcontract fulfillment, but be transparent about it in your bid and ensure your partner meets the same standards.
- Highlight any social value credentials (e.g., apprenticeships, environmental practices, local sourcing) in your bid. Government frameworks increasingly score social value — this can be a differentiator for small suppliers.
