Supply and Distribution of Kitchens

The supply and distribution of kitchens involves the end-to-end delivery of rigid-build cabinets, worktops, appliances and accessories.

The Supply and Distribution of Kitchens Framework covers the entire kitchen distribution process, with services procured by local authorities, housing associations and other public sector organisations. This framework is a fully compliant, multi-supplier procurement route for these organisations on their journey to creating modernised, safe living environments for their residents.

The kitchen distribution services offered under the framework must align with different parts of the Building Regulations 2010. For example, it must be compliant with Part B (Fire Safety), Part F (Ventilation), Part G (Sanitation, hot water safety and water efficiency), Part H (Drainage and waste disposal) and Part P (Electrical safety).

At NHC Procurement, we understand the importance of ensuring your residents are safe and comfortable in their homes, and that adapting kitchens to meet accessibility requirements are essential to maintain independence. With our trusted suppliers, we provide the supply and distribution of kitchens to meet your residents’ needs while also ensuring regulatory compliance.
