UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed here involves the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council as the buying organisation for the supply of bespoke fire frames for composite fire doors. The project falls under the "Structural products" industry category and is located in Bradford, United Kingdom. This process has reached the Award stage, with a significant contract period starting from 20th October 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract, valued at £325,000, has been directly awarded to Winkhaus (UK) Ltd as a supplier. This direct award was made under specific conditions where competition was not feasible due to technical reasons, ensuring compatibility with existing products.

This tender offers substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in fire safety solutions, particularly those that can provide technically compatible products with existing systems. Large-scale suppliers with the unique capability to meet these specifications are best placed to engage in such opportunities. Although the current award favours Winkhaus (UK) Ltd due to its specific product alignment, similar future tenders might offer opportunities for companies that demonstrate innovation and technical excellence in structural safety products. This procurement contract evidences the need for specialised technical skills and reinforces the necessity for suppliers to showcase distinct capabilities in similar sectors.
