Think you can order the cable and ends from PCworld business. I got a tester and crimper years ago from i think B&Q, it is at home somewhere. Haven't used the tester in a long time, just make them, have made a few and haven't had a problem yet.
 
Maplin also do a range of tools / cables

i would get them from maplins, Boucher road. Ive never had any problems with them and they usually just swap out anything that doesn't work/faulty.
Ive found in the past that ordering Rj45 heads online was easy but a good lot of them were very brittle.

If you can prove you have tried to buy a certain item from the listed companies and they cant supply you with it, then you are allowed to purchase elsewhere.  Two or three listed suppliers should be enough
 
Thats what I have been told anyways.

Used to have to work off the tender in my old place but now we can order from who we like, as long as its not too expensive then we have to get 3 quotes.
