Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing commissioned works to replace windows at Ramsey House on Vassall Road in London. The requirement is a building works contract covering window replacement and installation, classified under CPV 45421132 for installation of windows. The work concerns a specific residential property rather than a general supply arrangement or a multi-site programme. Businesses relevant to this requirement include window replacement contractors, building firms and specialist installers able to remove existing windows and install replacements as part of a completed works package. The named buying organisation is Southern Housing, a public authority responsible for the procurement. Delivery is associated with Ramsey House, Vassall Road, London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to NATIONCARE WINDOWS LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its gross value is £2,848,921.93. The requirement was treated as works and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contracting process did not use a competitive tender, so the outcome records a direct award rather than bids evaluated against published price or quality criteria.

For competing suppliers, this award demonstrates substantial demand from Southern Housing for window replacement works at residential properties in London. A credible future provider would need specialist window installation capability, the workforce and operational capacity to deliver a sizeable building works package, and the ability to complete work within a defined delivery programme. Relevant experience in replacing windows in occupied or managed housing would help a supplier address the practical requirements of this type of work, including coordination, installation and completion across a residential site. The award to an SME also indicates that organisations of this scale can undertake the requirement, including established specialist contractors and capable building firms.
