The Kitchens Framework

The Cirrus Consortium Kitchen Materials Supply Framework covers the full range of kitchen and related materials, including but not limited to:

Readymade (pre-assembled) kitchen units and accessories
Flat pack kitchen units and accessories
Kitchen unit doors and accessories
Worktops and accessories
Kitchen wall and floor tiles and associated products
Adaptated kitchen items and accessories

The framework includes a selection of suppliers who have been chosen via a tender issued in the Official Journal European Union (OJEU).

The framework was undertaken as an EU compliant open tender procedure, as detailed in Regulation 27 of the UK statutory instrument Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102.

The current framework runs from October 2017 to October 2021 and is available to all contracting authorities across England, Scotland and Wales.

Key benefits of the framework include:

Establish your own contract with a choice of 8 leading suppliers
Keep the flexibility and ownership of managing the contract and specification as you choose
No need to tender via OJEU directly as the pretendered framework already complies with the necessary legislation
There is no requirement to use specific financial or billing systems so you have the flexibility to pay the supplier how you choose
Free to use, therefore no fees will be charged to buying organisations for consortium membership or using the framework
