## Summary

Ashford Borough Council is currently engaged in a tendering process for the provision of cavity wall and loft insulation to its housing stock, with a budget allocation of £50,000 annually for three years. The procurement is classified under the insulation work category and takes place in Ashford, South East England. The tender was initially published on 5th July 2019, with a tender return deadline of 2nd August 2019 at 14:30 hours. The contracting period commences on 2nd September 2019 and concludes on 31st March 2020, with potential extensions for a further two years. Suitable contractors must be National Insulation Association (NIA) registered installers and provide independently guaranteed work through the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA). This procurement process follows an open procedure below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in the construction and insulation sectors. Companies that possess NIA registration and CIGA guarantees are particularly well-equipped to compete for this contract. Participating in this process not only allows businesses to secure a contract with a local authority but also to establish long-term relationships for future projects within the borough. Businesses keen on demonstrating quality service through supporting documentation will find that the evaluation criteria favour a balance of price and service quality, particularly in the context of the upcoming work identified in the area.
