Summary of the contracting process

London & Quadrant Housing Trust is buying vinyl sheet flooring for its affordable housing portfolio, covering both new-build and major works or refurbishment programmes. This is a goods supply contract only, within the floor-coverings category (CPV 44112200). Products must be supplied directly to L&Q by manufacturers; distributors, wholesalers, resellers and other intermediaries cannot bid. The requirement is divided into two lots: New Build, and Major Works. Deliveries are required across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The procurement will establish a multi-supplier framework, with L&Q intending to appoint at least two suppliers, subject to the outcome of the process. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable for both lots.

The procurement has reached tender: L&Q invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is a three-stage process comprising a selection questionnaire, invitation to tender, and negotiation with a best and final offer before award; L&Q may instead award after the tender stage. The tender submission deadline was 10 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time, and the award decision was due by 14 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The framework is scheduled to run from 28 January 2027 to 28 January 2031, comprising an initial two-year term with a two-year extension option. Its estimated total value is £2,571,159 gross, in GBP. Both the New Build and Major Works lots use the same evaluation: quality questions weighted 60% and price 40%.

This opportunity suits flooring manufacturers able to supply vinyl sheet flooring directly to a large housing provider across England. Suppliers need the manufacturing capability, product range and distribution capacity to support both new-build delivery and major works or refurbishment programmes. Because intermediary organisations are excluded, manufacturers with an established direct-to-customer supply model are best placed to compete. The framework will use fixed Schedule of Rates pricing, so bidders need robust cost control and the ability to maintain agreed pricing for at least the initial pricing period. L&Q also expects suppliers to provide social value linked to contract delivery and to include plot-based rebates where applicable. Strong written responses to quality questions will be important, alongside competitive pricing. The process may include clarification meetings, interviews, presentations, demonstrations or site visits during final evaluation.
