The Procurement Partnership (TPPL) launched its new Building Materials Framework, in partnership with STAR Procurement in May 2025. The Framework scope expands on building material categories currently available via the existing TPPL NEPO219 Building Materials and Modular Buildings DPS.

In addition to traditional merchanting goods and services, the expanded framework scope includes Aggregates, Concrete and Roadstone under lot 7.  2 market-leading suppliers have been appointed, providing organisations with excellent coverage.

For ease of access, a separate web page for this lot has been created. The following goods are accessible via the new lot:

Lot 7: Aggregates, Concrete and Roadstone

• Aggregates
• Sand, gravel & asphalt
• Tarmac, bitumen, cements, concretes (mixed on site or in a batching plant), mortars, surface dressings
• Coated and uncoated roadstones, recycled materials, chippings, & grouts

The suppliers were selected based on not only their ability to supply product, but also a range of qualitative criteria, including their approach to reducing carbon.

Members can benefit from the ability to call off directly from the framework, saving time and resource. These have been added to our frameworks to ensure easy, compliant access for public sector buyers with tight deadlines.

When asked about his thoughts on this new lot, Phil Williams, Director of Procurement, commented, “Aggregates, Concrete and Roadstone is a category often requested by our members. We are delighted to have identified two excellent suppliers to meet our member’s needs.”
