Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured works to supply and install new replacement exit doors. The requirement falls within door installation and covers delivery associated with the Council’s premises in the Central Bedfordshire area, linked to the Council’s address in Shefford. The work is classified as construction works rather than goods or general services. The procurement was intended to address replacement exit-door requirements, with the contractor responsible for the relevant installation activity. The named buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council, based at Priory House, Monks Walk, Shefford. The recorded delivery scope includes the United Kingdom and wider locations, but the identifiable local delivery reference is the SG17 5TQ postcode in Shefford.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a quotation-based process using the Council’s electronic tendering system. The quotation deadline was 1 September 2026 at 10am, following a final date for questions of 26 August 2026. The contract was awarded to RID Ltd on 11 September 2026. The recorded award value is £0, with the currency stated as GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and covers the same period. The procurement record describes the contract as works and uses an ‘Other’ procurement method. Quotations and attachments were required electronically, and late submissions were excluded. The tender is recorded as complete.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in replacing and installing exit doors, together with the practical capacity to deliver building works for a local authority. Relevant experience should include surveying existing door arrangements, removing and replacing door assemblies, managing installation safely on occupied or operational premises, and meeting applicable fire-safety, access and building-control requirements. Firms should be able to provide clear quotations and supporting attachments through an electronic tendering system, respond accurately to clarification requirements, and coordinate delivery through to completion within a defined contract period. The recorded supplier was RID Ltd, providing a useful benchmark for the type of door-installation contractor that satisfied this Council’s requirement. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs.
