Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured locks and related hardware for doors and windows. The requirement is for goods used with the council’s tested materials and fields of application, supporting the manufacture of PVC windows that achieve the Kitemark standard. The work concerns building materials and delivery in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was arranged as a single procurement covering doors and windows hardware, specifically locks. This is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of door and window locking hardware, particularly those familiar with hardware used in PVC window production and with supplying public-sector housing or property operations. The requirement is product-focused rather than a construction or installation service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Total Hardware Limited. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 15 June 2026, with an award date of 20 June 2026. The contract runs from 20 June 2026 to 12 July 2027, with a renewal option extending the maximum end date to 12 July 2028; the stated renewal period is 12 months and 22 days. The awarded value is £11,434,060 excluding VAT, or £13,720,872 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition process, with the published procurement information describing the materials’ tested application and Kitemark-related purpose.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, repeatable demand from Bradford Council for locks and associated door and window hardware used in PVC window manufacture. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would be established manufacturers, wholesalers or specialist distributors able to provide building-material hardware at significant volume, maintain dependable supply and support council property or manufacturing operations. Credibility would also come from understanding the technical compatibility of locking components with PVC doors and windows, the buyer’s specified fields of application, and materials that have been tested for the intended use. Businesses supplying products that support Kitemark-compliant window manufacture, with evidence of consistent product performance and the capacity to fulfil a large single-lot requirement, would be well aligned with this buyer’s purchasing pattern.
