Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe is procuring works to replace UPVC windows and doors across its social housing stock. The requirement covers the planned replacement programme, including supplying and installing the new windows and doors and related components. The council is seeking one suitable contractor to deliver the programme and manage its associated works, materials and resident-facing activities. This is a public-sector housing maintenance and refurbishment opportunity for window and door replacement specialists, main contractors and suitably experienced building-services firms. The work is classified as installation of doors and windows and related components (CPV 45421100). The council is the buying organisation, and the programme is intended for its social housing properties.

The procurement has reached tender: the council has invited offers through a one-stage open procedure and describes it as a below-threshold open competition. Questions can be submitted until 25 September 2026 at 23:59:59, and tenders must be returned by 6 October 2026 at 13:00 via the Kent Business Portal; post and email submissions are not accepted. The contract is scheduled for 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an extension of up to 12 months, ending no later than 31 March 2030. The estimated initial-term value is £1,560,000 excluding VAT; the maximum initial-period estimate is £2,700,000 excluding VAT. The total estimated value including additional funding and the extension is £4,050,000 excluding VAT, or £4,860,000 including VAT. Evaluation is price 40% and quality 60%, covering experience and added value 25%, resources and mobilisation 15%, communication 10%, carbon reduction 5% and social value 5%.

The opportunity suits SMEs and contractors with demonstrable experience replacing windows and doors across public-sector social housing portfolios. Bidders need the capacity to mobilise on time, programme and resource a two-year works schedule, manage delay risks, maintain supplies of materials and equipment, and provide a contract-specific supply chain. The council will look for evidence of customer satisfaction, quality assurance, health and safety compliance, efficient working practices and successful delivery within programme. Strong resident liaison is important, including communication with vulnerable residents, site surveys, access issues and complaints. Suppliers should also be able to offer practical innovations that reduce whole-life costs and improve residents’ experience. Competitive responses will set measurable carbon-reduction actions and reporting, alongside credible social-value commitments such as volunteering, community support, training and apprenticeships.
