Summary and Benefits

The PfH Materials Agreement, developed in partnership with the PfH materials product group, provides PfH Members with unrivalled choice and delivers significant value for money enabling Members to deliver even better services to tenants.

Five lots, for specific areas of spend.

The individual lots offer an EU compliant "one stop shop" for Members who will benefit from clear bespoke arrangements for each product area, offering the best in terms of quality, pricing, and capacity to service the agreement effectively.

Merchant choice and availability.

In addition to increasing the scope of products available to PfH Members, by retendering the previous materials agreement PfH has made the agreement more robust and effective by ensuring that we also offer increased the supplier choice within the framework. Not only has the number of awarded suppliers increased, naturally offering more choice, but the effective coverage available throughout the UK has grown in excess of 4,000 branches.

Effective pricing structure.

In order for you to achieve the most competitive prices available all year round the plumbing, heating and spares lot (lot 1), which contains a large number of  volatile products that regularly fluctuate in price, will be priced differently from the other 4 materials lots. Lot 1 will now have a monthly price list and suppliers will follow strict rules to ensure that this is comprehensively managed.

Benefits for all: Registered Providers, contractors and tenants.

The Materials Agreement is available for both Registered Providers and contractors. PfH account cards will be given to the PfH Member and/or their contractor as a means of identifying that they are eligible to procure via the PfH Materials Agreement and access the negotiated pricing therein.

With the need to raise the standard of services for tenants, PfH is dedicated to improving housing for the benefit of residents and driving forward community renewal. An example of this is the tenant discounts that will be available to PfH members’ tenants via this framework. There will be discount cards available from the majority of the awarded suppliers with an average discount of 30% off list price.

Ensuring pricing transparency.
PfH is working closely with the following supporting manufacturers for this agreement to ensure contract support, technical assistance and stability in pricing are achieved: Aqualisa, Baxi, Be Modern, Bristan, Dimplex, Fernox, Glowworm, Grundfos, Honeywell, Ideal Heating, Ideal Standard, Mira, Myson, Oso, Pegler, Permadoor, Purmo, Quinn, Rangemaster, Robinson Willey, Roper Rhodes, Sentinel, Siemens,Speedfit, Surestop, Valor, Vokera and Worcester.
