Circa 200 suppliers with a mix of material manufacturers and merchant/distributors applied to be considered for the framework and having made it through the initial assessment process, approximately 130 of these have been successful in proceeding through to tender stage.

Re:allies members have worked together to undertake the initial assessment and produce the specification and tender documentation. Tenants from all collaboration members have been active in the selection process to date.

The organisations proceeding to tender stage represent a mix of incumbent suppliers, along with other organisations new to the Re:allies members. Tender documents were launched on the 18th February and have a completion deadline of 24 March (12  noon).
