Summary of the contracting process

Karbon Homes, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level, is initiating an open procurement process for a "Flooring Framework" aimed at appointing competent contractors to supply and fit floor coverings. This tender process is currently active and invites submissions until 9th January 2026, with an enquiry period concluding on 18th December 2025. The framework covers multiple operational areas in the North East of England and Yorkshire. The procurement is categorised under 'works' and includes several lots with specific delivery addresses across the UK. The framework, which has a projected value of £816,000, can extend beyond its initial 24-month duration by an additional 24 months, ensuring coverage and continuity for 35,000 homes managed by Karbon Homes. All submissions must be processed via Karbon's e-Sourcing portal.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in flooring installation and covering work, particularly those with prior experience in large-scale or public sector projects. The open competition format facilitates an inclusive environment for both established companies and emerging enterprises in the flooring industry. The diverse regional spread of the project across the company's North and South operational areas, coupled with the possibility of subsequent mini-competitions for an additional allocation of work, provides ample opportunity for business growth and network expansion. Companies capable of providing not only quality materials but also demonstrating cost-efficiency and social value will have a competitive edge in this procurement process.
