Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured flame-retardant contract blinds and their installation for communal areas in Retirement Living schemes and Adult Social Care homes. The requirement covers blinds as goods together with the associated installation service, for delivery across the East Midlands. The buyer is Nottingham City Council, based in Nottingham. The procurement is focused on furnishing and fitting blinds in care and supported-living environments, where fire performance and suitability for shared residential settings are central to the requirement. This is a local authority requirement rather than a general commercial blinds supply opportunity, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide compliant contract blinds and install them across council-managed retirement living and adult social care properties.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 August 2026 to Elite Blinds. It used an open procedure below the threshold, with the opportunity valued at £45,000. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The award covers a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an awarded value of £45,000. The contract was evaluated through the open procedure for this requirement, which combined the supply and installation of flame-retardant blinds. Nottingham City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Elite Blinds is the selected supplier. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates established council demand for flame-retardant blinds installed in communal areas of Retirement Living schemes and Adult Social Care homes across the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to supply contract-grade blinds with appropriate flame-retardant performance and provide dependable installation in occupied or operational care and supported-living settings. Relevant capability includes surveying communal areas, advising on suitable blind products, coordinating access with council or care staff, installing safely and consistently across multiple properties, and completing work to an agreed specification. Small and medium-sized businesses are explicitly suited to this type of requirement. Suppliers with proven experience in public-sector, care, retirement-living or other regulated residential environments would be well placed to demonstrate reliable delivery and an understanding of safety-sensitive premises.
