UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured ironmongery and hardware for use in its window and door applications. The requirement covers building materials, including hardware specified for systems whose windows and doors have been tested with those materials. The council is the public-sector buyer, and delivery is in Bradford, West Yorkshire. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or installation contract: the commercial focus is on supplying compatible ironmongery and hardware materials for the council’s building-related needs. Businesses supplying window and door hardware, ironmongery and associated building materials are the most relevant potential competitors for future requirements of this type.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. GMR Hardware Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. It has a gross value of £5,957,304, equivalent to £4,964,420 excluding VAT, in each case for the awarded contract. The buyer may exercise one 12-month extension, subject to performance, with a maximum end date of 12 January 2028. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure, reflecting a competition restricted to selected suppliers rather than an open tender.

This award demonstrates established council demand for a substantial supply of ironmongery and hardware used in tested window and door applications. A credible future supplier would need to provide building materials that are compatible with the specified systems and supported by reliable product knowledge. It would also need the operational capacity to supply a large public-sector requirement into Bradford, maintain consistent product availability and meet the council’s performance expectations over an extended delivery period. Relevant businesses include hardware merchants, ironmongery distributors and manufacturers or specialist suppliers of window and door components. Experience supplying councils or similar building-maintenance organisations would help demonstrate dependable service and contract performance.
