Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed a procurement process titled "Fire Doors" to supply standard (non-fire) and fire-rated GRP composite door slabs. The contract, awarded to Distinction Doors Ltd, covers deliveries within the Bradford region, UK, specifically UKE41. This is part of the planning stage in the procurement lifecycle. The procurement method adopted was direct, allowing the council to proceed without competition due to being below the threshold. The contract commences on 16th December 2025 and concludes on 31st March 2026, marking the delivery timeline for the door products involved.

This tender offers business growth opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those involved in manufacturing or supplying building materials, including doors and door-related products. While the procurement method excluded competition, it showcases Distinction Doors Ltd—a Barnsley-based SME—as a capable supplier in the niche industry of fire-rated doors. This scenario presents an opportunity for similar businesses to position themselves for future tenders within the public sector, especially those focusing on compliance and specialised manufacturing of building materials.
