Summary of the contracting process

Ashfield Council sought the supply of internal plywood flush doors for its Operational Support service. This is a goods requirement covering doors, classified under CPV 44221200. Delivery was required in the East Midlands, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The requirement concerns the provision of manufactured or stocked internal doors rather than installation, construction or a wider building works package. It was intended for use by the council in its operational activities. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to door manufacturers, joinery businesses, building-materials distributors and other suppliers able to provide the specified internal door products to a public-sector buyer.

The procurement was completed through a limited competitive quotation process below the applicable threshold. Quotations closed on 30 September 2025 at 5pm. Ashfield Council awarded the requirement to Howden Joinery Limited on 4 November 2025 for £44,874 including the stated GBP currency. The intended contract period was 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2028. The award was subsequently cancelled because the chosen contractor declined to supply under the contract terms before work began; no contract was executed. The stated evaluation route was competitive quotation, and the procurement was assessed as a goods purchase rather than services or works. Although the award record is marked active, the procurement description confirms that the award notice was issued in error and cancelled.

This outcome provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking Ashfield Council’s demand for internal plywood flush doors. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to suitable internal door products, the capacity to fulfil a council-wide operational supply requirement, and robust commercial arrangements that can be maintained through the agreed terms. Suppliers should be able to provide accurate quotations, manage product availability and deliveries into the East Midlands, and demonstrate dependable public-sector or trade supply performance. The procurement route was a below-threshold competitive quotation, so businesses with efficient quotation processes and the ability to respond to relatively focused product specifications may be well placed. The stated SME suitability also indicates that smaller manufacturers, joinery suppliers and specialist distributors could be relevant competitors.
