UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Lakes Housing has procured replacement PVCu windows and frames, together with composite doors, including their supply and installation in its domestic social housing. The work supports planned maintenance to keep homes safe, warm and meeting housing standards. South Lakes Housing serves nearly 3,500 households across the South Lakes area of Cumbria. The awarded work is for properties in Cumbria. This is a housing-maintenance requirement for contractors able to deliver window and door replacement in occupied or social housing settings, rather than a general building refurbishment contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Select Windows (Home Improvements) Limited. The award was made on 12 October 2026, at £3.5 million excluding VAT (£4.2 million including VAT). The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option for one extension of up to two years. It was run as a single-lot open procedure. Tender submissions closed on 14 September 2026, following an amendment to the return date; clarification questions closed on 4 September 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality, including social value, at 40%; quality responses accounted for up to 30% and social value up to 10%. Twelve bids were received, 11 from SMEs.

This award shows South Lakes Housing buys planned replacement of PVCu windows and frames and composite doors for social housing, as a substantial, joined-up installation contract rather than work divided into smaller lots. Suppliers aiming to compete for a comparable requirement need proven experience supplying and fitting these products in domestic social housing. FENSA certification is required, alongside willingness to provide accounts if requested and to obtain appropriate insurance cover. Experience in the South Lakes or in similarly geographically challenging parts of the UK is preferred, so evidence of managing logistics and delivery across difficult areas would strengthen a supplier’s case. The buyer also expects contractors to work in line with its values and behaviours framework. Quality and social value matter alongside price, so credible delivery plans and demonstrable social value would be relevant.
