Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is seeking a contractor to replace windows and doors in its tenanted residential properties across the Borough of Swindon. The works cover the supply and installation of uPVC windows and composite doors that meet current building requirements for thermal efficiency, fire escape and ventilation. The contractor is expected to provide an end-to-end service, including surveying and design, supply, installation, health and safety management, tenant engagement, administration and compliance with construction design and management requirements. This is a housing refurbishment works contract, combining product supply with installation across the council’s residential stock.

The council invited bids through an open procedure. The procurement is a single package, with price weighted at 60%; quality accounts for 40%, covering mobilisation (10%), technical quality and installation methodology (5%), health, safety and risk management (5%), resident experience and communication (5%), key performance indicators (5%) and social value (10%). Clarification questions were due by 30 November 2026 at 15:00 UK time, and tender responses by 7 December 2026 at 15:00 UK time. The initial contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2029, with two optional extensions of 24 months each, potentially taking it to 31 May 2033. Estimated spend is £9.9m–£9.94m excluding VAT for the initial term, and £29.7m–£29.82m excluding VAT over the full term.

The requirement is suited to an experienced window and door contractor able to manage a substantial residential replacement programme from survey and design through installation. Suppliers will need to demonstrate technical competence in fitting uPVC windows and composite doors that meet building requirements for thermal performance, fire escape and ventilation. The delivery model also calls for effective mobilisation, safe working and risk control, tenant communication and engagement, and administration and construction design and management compliance throughout the works. Bids are assessed on these capabilities as well as price, performance management and social value, so suppliers with strong installation methods and a proven approach to resident-facing work will be well placed to compete.
