A UK government department needs to buy Rockwool Searox insulation materials on an ongoing basis. They want 15 packs per month of a specific product (SL 660, 50mm thick) delivered for 3 years starting July 2026. This is a straightforward supply contract rather than a service.
Requirements
- Must supply Rockwool Searox SL 660 insulation specifically — no substitutes or alternatives mentioned
- Exact dimensions required: 50mm thick × 600mm × 1000mm
- Consistent monthly delivery of 15 packs per month for 36 months (July 2026 to June 2029)
- No specific certifications, standards, or qualifications mentioned in the notice — check full tender documents for quality standards, CE marking, or Fire Safety Regulations compliance
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply 15 packs of Searox SL 660 insulation per month for 3 years (540 packs total)
- Ensure correct product specifications: 50mm thickness, 600mm × 1000mm dimensions
- Arrange monthly delivery schedule starting 1 July 2026
- Maintain consistent stock and delivery performance over 36-month period
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'recurring supply' contract, not a one-off purchase — the buyer will order the same product every month for 3 years, so reliability matters more than lowest price alone
- 2The specific product code 'SL 660' is critical — this is a Rockwool technical specification, not a generic insulation. Confirm you can source this exact grade and thickness from your supplier before bidding
- 3Work out your total cost for 540 packs (15 × 36 months) and factor in potential inflation or supply chain costs over 3 years — your pricing model needs to account for this long timeframe
- 4Check the full tender documents for delivery terms (where, when, how often), payment terms (30/60 days?), and any quality assurance or inspection requirements not mentioned in this summary
- 5Look for 'call-off' or 'framework' language — this may be a standing offer where the buyer calls off stock as needed, rather than fixed monthly quantities
Tips for Small Businesses
- Check you have a reliable supplier relationship with Rockwool or a distributor before bidding. If you're not already in the insulation trade, this contract ties you to one specific product for 3 years — margins matter because you're locked in
- Consider whether you'll hold stock yourself or arrange drop-ship delivery directly from Rockwool/distributor. Holding 15 packs monthly ties up working capital — clarify payment terms in the tender documents so you know your cash flow impact
- This is low-risk work if you can secure supply, so it's good for steady revenue. However, there may be social value scoring in the tender (e.g. local jobs, environmental credentials, apprenticeships) — check the full documents and highlight any ESG benefits of your bid
