Cirrus Consortium Kitchen Supply Framework 2021
Authority: Cirrus Consortium C/O Halton Housing
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Cirrus Consortium sought to establish a new framework of kitchen manufacturers and suppliers for the supply of kitchens to replace the current Cirrus Consortium Kitchen Materials Supply Framework which expired in October 2021. While the new framework is predominantly for the supply of kitchen materials; installation and other associated services will also be available. Whole kitchens and/or component parts of kitchens may be required by contracting authorities to fulfil the needs of their organisation, whether that is for planned investment programmes, void replacement kitchen installations, new build and outright sale properties, kitchen repairs and maintenance or any other reason. The outcome of the tender process is a four year Framework Agreement expected to commence during November 2021.
