Our framework for the supply of building materials (NPS-CFM-0085-18) has now been awarded and is available for the Welsh public sector to use.

This framework agreement offers a compliant, simple and competitive route to market for customers wishing to order a broad range of building materials. The framework also offers access to pre-approved suppliers that have been rigorously assessed on the quality of the services they provide.

The framework comprises 7 lots:

• Lot 4: electrical fittings, cable, lighting and accessories (excluding street lighting)
• Lot 5: heating, ventilation, boilers and associated products
• Lot 6: plumbing, sanitary ware and rainwater goods

Each lot is sub-divided into 7 geographical zones based on county boundaries as follows:

• Zone 1: Isle of Anglesey, Conwy and Gwynedd
• Zone 2: Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham
• Zone 3: Powys
• Zone 4: Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire
