Echelon Consultancy, acting on behalf of Fairhive, is undertaking preliminary market engagement to help shape the re-procurement of its materials supply contract. The link to respond to this market engagement is below: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=4l5r6t74ekKpRuEf1IxDUGMLHUhepMtFknQ-9oX17dRUNzQxU0NHUkdCTEowTzhRWU4zRjJGS01XTCQlQCN0PWcu Fairhive currently spends approximately £3.5 million per year on materials across all categories used by its Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) to deliver responsive repairs and void works. Fairhive intends to appoint a single supplier to deliver the whole contract through a managed store model. Further innovation and operational solutions will be considered throughout the procurement process. We would welcome the views of suppliers, merchants and other interested parties on the proposed approach, including the scope, contract structure and commercial model, to inform the design of the procurement. Any comments or feedback provided will be treated confidentially and will not be used in any part of the evaluation process. Participation in this engagement is optional and is not a condition of participating in any subsequent procurement.
