Supply/Distribution of Ironmongery DPS
Framework Description
London and Quadrant Housing Trust's Supply and Distribution of Ironmongery DPS is a dynamic purchasing system for ironmongery and related building materials, tools and goods used in L&Q's construction and maintenance work. It runs until 20 May 2031 and is open to new suppliers throughout its term, so merchants and distributors can apply whenever they meet the selection criteria.
Context & Use Case
L&Q uses the DPS to buy ironmongery such as locks, hinges and door handles, along with fixings and related goods, for new developments and the upkeep of existing homes. Requirements are competed among admitted suppliers as they arise, and the DPS can take on new suppliers at any point, which keeps the market competitive across a long programme.

Who Can Apply
Ironmongery manufacturers, merchants and distributors, including smaller businesses looking to grow in the housing sector. As a DPS, it is open to new suppliers at any time until 20 May 2031, provided they meet L&Q's selection criteria.
Buyer Benefits
Competition among admitted suppliers keeps ironmongery prices sharp across a large housing programme, and L&Q can buy as needs arise rather than committing to one merchant. Because new suppliers can join throughout the term, L&Q can bring in better prices, ranges or delivery coverage when they become available.
Next Steps

Have financial information, product ranges, certification and delivery coverage ready. After admission, respond promptly to each requirement, as speed and accuracy count when several suppliers are quoting.
