How we can help
Our Building Materials and Equipment framework (RM6157) contains 6 of the UK's leading electrical distributors including City Electrical Factors, Edmundson Electrical, Huws Gray, Rexel, RS Components and Yesss Electrical
Our framework uses a priced core list, meaning we already have monoxide and smoke alarms priced with those prices held until July 2023.
The framework allows for direct award on the most commercially advantageous solution or depending on your requirement you may choose to run a further competition, which we can assist with either through an Expression of Interest (EOI) or a Request for Quotation (RFQ) on your behalf.
A further competition for larger quantities is always recommended as you will find discounts based on region and volumes that are generally not contained within pricing lists for single items.
