Summary of the contracting process

Citizen Housing Group Ltd’s Windows and Doors Upgrade Programme covers the installation of replacement windows and doors, together with associated services. The appointed principal contractor is responsible for the programme’s installation works. The procurement was made through the CHIC Windows and Doors framework, Lot 1 for UPVC systems. Delivery is in the West Midlands. The requirement is relevant to principal contractors and specialist building firms able to manage housing windows and doors upgrades and carry out UPVC installation work, including associated services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Specialist Building Contracting Limited, trading as Wrekin Windows, through a direct award call-off from the CHIC framework, without a prior competition. The published award records one bid. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is valued at £3.9 million. Its initial term is 24 months, with an optional 12-month extension; the programme is described as running until 2029. The award was made under the framework’s UPVC systems lot, and price was the stated evaluation criterion. The tender record marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award shows that Citizen Housing Group buys principal-contractor delivery for housing windows and doors upgrades through the CHIC framework, using its UPVC systems lot and a direct call-off route. A credible competitor for this buyer’s requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to coordinate a programme of window and door replacements, deliver installation works reliably across the West Midlands, and provide the associated services. The selected supplier is a specialist building contractor, indicating that relevant building and UPVC installation capability is central to the requirement. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, so cost control would matter alongside the capacity to manage delivery at programme scale. The contract also included an extension option, showing potential for continued delivery within the same arrangement.»
