UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe is seeking a contractor to replace uPVC windows and doors across its social housing stock. The works cover replacement units and associated installation, with the detailed requirements set out in the procurement documents. Delivery is in Folkestone and Hythe, Kent. This is a housing improvement programme intended to renew windows and doors in council homes; suppliers should be prepared to work in occupied properties and engage with residents throughout surveys and installation. The council is the buyer and is procuring the works for its housing portfolio.

The council invited tenders through a one-stage open competition. The tender deadline was 27 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC, and clarification questions could be submitted until 16 October 2026. The contract was planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for up to 12 months, dependent on satisfactory performance. The stated estimated value for the initial term is £1.56 million excluding VAT; the maximum estimate for that period is £2.7 million excluding VAT, subject to additional funding approval. The stated total maximum, including additional funding and the extension, is £4.05 million excluding VAT. Price accounts for 40% of evaluation; quality accounts for 60%, covering experience and added value, mobilisation and resources, communication, carbon reduction and social value. There is one lot.

The opportunity suits window and door replacement contractors with experience delivering comparable programmes across public-sector social housing portfolios, and is identified as suitable for SMEs. Bidders need to demonstrate they can plan and complete a programme to schedule, mobilise in time, manage delivery risks, and secure and maintain the materials, equipment and supply chain needed for installation despite fixed schedule-of-rates costs and rising material prices. The council seeks evidence of procedures for resident satisfaction, workmanship, resolving defects, health and safety, and communication with residents, including vulnerable people and complaints. Strong submissions will show measurable results from comparable contracts and practical initiatives to improve delivery, reduce whole-life costs and enhance resident experience. Suppliers must also propose measurable carbon-reduction actions and reporting, and social-value commitments such as volunteering, community support, training or apprenticeships.
