In the construction industry, ‘supplier’ is a very general term which refers to organisations contracted as part of the delivery of a built asset. A nominated supplier is imposed on the main contractor after the main contractor has been appointed.

A contractor is able to purchase from their own choice of supplier, or use their choice of products, unless the architect or client has nominated a supplier. Often this can be because a particular product brand is required, the particular goods provided by the supplier are not widely available, there is an existing relationship with the supplier, and so on.

A potential drawback of nominating a supplier is that the contractor is then not able to ‘shop around’ local or national suppliers and obtaining the best price. Therefore, it is important that suppliers are nominated with due consideration to them being able to supply goods according to the project programme and budget.

The mechanism for nominating is an instruction in relation to a prime cost sum to which the main contractor is entitled to add mark up and attendance costs. It allows the client to have direct separate negotiations with major suppliers of goods and feed their appointment and design input into the contract after works by the main contractor have commenced.

Examples of situations where suppliers might be nominated could include:

* Long delivery items where ordering is necessary before the appointment of a main contractor. For example, lifts, switchgear or refrigeration plant.
* Where specialist design input is required in the early stages of design development. For example, for a cladding system.
* Where the client directly orders a preferred item on which design is to be based. For example, complex or specialist industrial plant or equipment.
