Cirrus Consortium Launches 6th Building Materials Framework

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 6th succession of our highly regarded Building Materials Framework tendered by the Cirrus Consortium. The framework is now live and available for use by contracting authorities across England, Wales and Scotland.

The latest arrangement builds on the success of the previous 5 frameworks as well as consortium member feedback, extensive pre-engagement and our insight into the wider market.

Key focuses include greater flexibility for conducting direct awards under the framework and assessing the environmental and social value commitments of our suppliers in more depth.

The following suppliers have been awarded a place on the framework:

• Alliance Tool Hire
• Bradford & Sons Ltd
• Brewers Decorator Centres
• City Electrical Factors Limited
• City Plumbing Supplies Holdings Ltd
• Crown Paints
• Edmundson Electrical
• Huws Gray Ltd
• Jewson Partnership Solutions
• Keyline
• Plumbase Ltd
• PPG Architectural Coatings UK Ltd
• Robert Price BM Ltd
• Sovini Trade Supplies
• Sunbelt Rentals Limited
• Travis Perkins Managed Services
• Wolseley UK Ltd
• YESSS Electrical

Congratulations to all of the suppliers who have been awarded a place on the new framework, we are very much looking forward to working with you all.

As pioneers in the building materials framework sector, we're proud of our heritage, having published our first Cirrus Consortium framework 14 years ago in March 2009. This framework keeps maximum flexibility, value for money and compliance at its core whilst also combining our in-depth procurement knowledge that has seen us lead in the building materials framework realm for over a decade.

We look forward to continuing to build more successful partnerships and setting the bar high for public sector frameworks.

Please get in touch with our Consortium Lead, Lucy on 07983 532407 or ljackson@cirruspurchasing.co.uk if you would like to discuss the new framework.
