Renewable Technologies and Associated Materials Framework

EEM has appointed eight Trade Specific Suppliers to provide a comprehensive service to EEM members for the provision of Renewable Technologies and Associated Materials.

EEM members have access to competitive prices for products such as:

Standard Service
At a minimum, our supplier's standard service covers the below, in line with the specification set by EEM during the tender process:

a) Counter service accessible during stipulated hours at all branches
b) Delivery service
c) Returns service
d) Product substitution service

The suppliers must ensure that operatives of EEM members, or an appointed repairs contractor on the member's business, must be charged the agreed EEM rates for legitimate purchases. Where a Counter Service cannot be provided locally, the supplier is expected to achieve delivery on a next day basis as a minimum.

Other Features
• Sufficient branch coverage to support a mobile workforce
• Van stock management
• Dedicated Account Manager
• Reporting data to assist with continuous improvement and review of products
• Guaranteed stock holding against an agreed core list
• Preparation of pre-picked ’kits’
• Out of hours supply
• Simple electronic ordering/invoicing systems

EEM Price Files
As well as appointing trusted suppliers, EEM works hard to establish direct relationships with manufacturers as we believe this approach delivers the most benefit to EEM and our members. EEM has a fair and robust process in place to obtain additional support exclusively for EEM members which is joined up with the support already available via the appointed suppliers. Where possible, EEM works with manufacturers to fix prices for each financial year.

Cost Comparison Exercises
Once we have assessed the suitability of our suppliers for your requirements, we can undertake a no-obligation price comparison exercise with your most frequently purchased items to demonstrate where savings can be made.

The next steps towards making cost and efficiency savings
Once we understand your operational requirements, we will invite you to provide us with a list of your most frequently purchased items. We will then work with the suppliers who are most suited to meet your operational and geographical requirements to conduct a thorough price comparison exercise. Once we have established your best solutions in terms of service and price, we will be available to arrange and attend introduction meetings with you and the appropriate supplier(s). We will then continue to guide you through entire call-off process, provide and draft your contract, and offer support for the duration of your contract.
