Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council procured loft insulation and associated roofing works for properties in the South East of England. The requirement is classified as roof insulation work and falls within the works category. It is a call-off contract from the LHC framework, intended to deliver insulation-related improvement works rather than the supply of standalone materials. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery area is the South East. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that firms of that scale were considered capable of delivering the requirement. The appointed supplier is based in Harrogate, while the work itself is to be carried out for Ashford Borough Council across its South East delivery area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2026 at 10:00. Ashford Borough Council awarded the contract to Synergize Ltd on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £1,500,000. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 28 July 2029. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off procedure, with the requirement covering loft insulation and associated works. One active award is recorded, to Synergize Ltd. The contract is therefore an established three-year arrangement rather than an opportunity for new bids, but its outcome provides a clear reference point for the council’s buying route and requirement scale.

This award is relevant to contractors delivering loft insulation and associated roofing works for public-sector housing or property portfolios in the South East. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity for multi-year delivery, the workforce and supervision to coordinate insulation and related works, and the operational systems to serve a council-scale programme. Experience of framework call-offs would be commercially useful, since this buyer used a selective route through the LHC framework rather than an open standalone tender. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, so the requirement is not limited to the largest national contractors. Firms should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, competent installation teams, effective scheduling across multiple properties and robust contract-management capability for a substantial insulation programme.
