UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing (PfH) is seeking manufacturers and contractors to provide communal doors and door-entry systems for social housing and other eligible public bodies. The requirement covers aluminium, steel, stainless-steel and timber communal doors, alongside wired and non-wired (GSM) audio and video access systems. Services include surveying, design, supply, installation, commissioning, handover and maintenance. Door-entry systems can also be bid for separately. Work may be delivered across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The framework excludes non-communal doors, including house front doors, and fire doors. PfH is a national procurement consortium serving the social housing sector; its framework is intended for use by PfH members and other permitted public bodies.

PfH invited offers through an open procedure, and the process has reached the tender stage. It is divided into nine lots: four manufacturer-only lots for the different door materials, four contractor-only lots for those materials, and one lot for door-entry systems alone. The estimated total value is £80 million excluding VAT (£96 million including VAT). Each lot is evaluated on quality (70%) and price (30%). The framework is planned to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with two optional one-year extensions. The deadline for questions was 30 November 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline was 14 December 2026 at 09:00. The award decision was scheduled by 12 February 2027. A 2.6% framework management fee applies to net invoice value.

The opportunity suits door manufacturers able to supply one or more communal-door materials, and contractors with the capacity to survey, design, install, commission, hand over and maintain complete door and entry-system solutions. Suppliers specialising in wired or GSM audio and video entry systems can pursue the dedicated systems lot without bidding for door supply. SMEs are identified as suitable across all nine lots. Bidders should match their offer to the manufacturer-only or contractor-only route where relevant; the separate entry-systems lot covers the access technology and its associated works. The framework gives appointed suppliers a route to call-off work from PfH members and eligible public bodies across the four UK nations. Customers may use direct award or a competitive selection process, as applicable, and establish call-off contracts directly with successful suppliers. No particular accreditation or technical experience threshold is stated in the tender data.

Planning Information

As we shape the strategy for this new framework, we are keen to ensure it reflects both the needs of our members and the market. We are therefore seeking suppliers to engage with us to share their capabilities and expertise. We would like to engage with suppliers of communal doors to review the proposed lot structure, develop a robust specification, review potential pricing methodology and identify any requirements we should consider when tendering for and setting up this framework agreement. If you are interested in engaging with PfH please express your interest by emailing AssetWorks@pfh.co.uk no later than 21st May 2026. Title your email "Preliminary Market Engagement - Communal Doors". A questionnaire and accompanying information will be issued to suppliers who register their interest and we may invite suppliers to an individual follow-up meeting to discuss their feedback. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.
