Summary of the contracting process

Castles and Coasts Housing Association is procuring a contractor to replace 350 fire doors in 24 general-needs housing blocks as part of its planned compliance programme. This is a building works contract focused on fire-door renewal, with associated joinery and installation work. The blocks are in Cumbria, across Cockermouth, Crosby Villa, Flimby, Keswick, Maryport, Papcastle, Wigton and Workington. The association is the buyer for the project.

The buyer invited offers through an open, below-threshold procedure. The tender was published on 26 October 2026, with bids due by 20 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 8 February to 11 June 2027. The estimated contract value is between £300,000 and £900,000. The procurement is presented as a single requirement covering the 350 doors across the 24 housing blocks; no separate lots are identified. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to compete. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed eligibility requirements.

This opportunity suits fire-door replacement contractors with the capability to deliver a planned programme across multiple housing blocks and locations in Cumbria. Suppliers should be able to renew 350 doors and manage the associated joinery and installation work within the stated contract period. The work is part of a housing association’s compliance programme, so experience delivering fire-door renewal in occupied or residential buildings is commercially relevant. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable. The requirement is substantial in scale and spread across eight named towns and villages, making mobilisation, scheduling and coordination across several sites important. The procurement information does not identify any specific accreditation, staffing level or prior-experience threshold.
