Procurement & frameworks
A supplier set up for formal public sector procurement.
Solarax engages with public sector buyers through compliant procurement routes. This page is intended as a due-diligence-friendly overview for procurement officers and framework administrators evaluating us as a potential supplier.
Procurement routes
We work through the standard routes recognised in UK public sector procurement, rather than direct-to-consumer sales channels.
- 01
Public sector frameworks
We are positioned to be considered for inclusion on relevant public sector frameworks aligned to furniture, signage and workwear supply. Where appointed, we operate to the standing terms of the relevant framework agreement.
- 02
Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS)
DPS arrangements offer an ongoing route to qualified suppliers across the contract term. We engage with relevant DPS opportunities where the scope aligns with our capability areas.
- 03
Direct contract awards
Where buyers operate under thresholds permitting direct awards, we respond to specifications with documented quotations and supply terms.
- 04
Mini-competitions
We are set up to respond to mini-competitions under existing framework or DPS appointments, providing the specification, pricing and lead-time information required for fair evaluation.
Compliance & assurance
The information procurement teams typically request.
We aim to make supplier evaluation straightforward. The areas below summarise our standing assurance posture; documentation specific to a tender or onboarding pack is shared on request.
Insurance
We maintain insurance cover appropriate to a UK supply business and can share certificates with procurement teams on request as part of supplier onboarding.
Quality processes
Orders are subject to a structured pre-despatch quality check covering specification, finish and packaging, with non-conformances escalated before release.
Ethical sourcing & supply chain due diligence
We work with manufacturers selected against responsible sourcing expectations, and we are open to disclosure conversations with buyers operating their own supply chain due diligence policies.
UK regulatory compliance awareness
Our supply approach is informed by UK regulations relevant to the goods we provide, including furniture fire safety regulations and signage standards applicable to public buildings.
