Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Freebridge Community Housing Limited, an established public authority based in Kings Lynn, culminated in the award of a contract dated 26th May 2026 for the "Supply and Installation of Windows, Doors and Roofline". The project falls under the 'works' category in the construction sector and is of particular interest for its selective procurement method placed under a broader framework. The contract was awarded to Ashford Commercial Limited and covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract's active period starts from 26th May 2026 and runs until 31st March 2031, with potential extensions increasing its duration to a total of up to seven years.

This procurement offers an expansive opportunity for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those skilled in window, door, and roofline installations. The sizable contract, with a gross value nearing £10 million, underlines a significant business growth potential for SMEs like Ashford Commercial Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Firms capable of delivering on a large scale across multiple UK regions, and underpinned by solid compliance and customer satisfaction assurance, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement initiatives structured under selective frameworks.
