What is being bought

The Riverside Group intends to procure a materials merchant service to support the delivery of responsive repairs, void works and planned maintenance across its housing portfolio. The requirement comprises the supply of core and non-core building materials, together with a fully integrated service including logistics, delivery, van stock management, branch access where required, stock and catalogue management, and system integration. The service is expected to operate on a delivery-led model, with materials supplied through scheduled deliveries and managed van stock replenishment, supplemented by branch collection for emergency or non-standard items where necessary. The solution must include the provision of management information and reporting, and operate on a transparent open book pricing basis. The contract will cover the provision of a comprehensive range of materials, including general building materials, plumbing and heating components, electrical materials, kitchens and bathrooms, PPE and workwear, tools and plant, and specialist items, with requirements to source non-standard products as required.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Construction materials and associated items (44100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
