This public procurement process, categorised under works, addresses the industry of windows, doors, and related installation components. The procurement encompasses several lots, specifically PVC-U, timber, and aluminium-clad timber windows and doors, spanning the entire United Kingdom. A pre-market engagement is scheduled with a due date of 2nd March 2026 to gather input from the market, refining the framework's scope, lotting structure, and technical requirements. The framework agreement sets forth a contract period from August 2026 to July 2030, with the possibility of renewal extending until August 2031. Further developments in this procurement process are anticipated, with a future notice date set for 15th April 2026. This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the window and door sector, particularly those focused on innovation and advanced materials. Companies with expertise in high-performance and enhanced-security products, heritage-compliant designs, and advanced glazing solutions will find this tender appealing. The framework accommodates SMEs, offering avenues for smaller enterprises to compete and deliver services across various lots. Active participation in the pre-market engagement can help inform businesses of emerging regulatory requirements and potential for product and service innovation, allowing them to align their offerings with future procurement needs and thereby fostering business growth. ## Notice Windows & Doors (WD3) is proposed to carry forward the existing Windows and Doors (WD2) product concept, with enhanced specifications, regulatory requirements, and competency criteria. The proposed framework will retain the following lots: Lot 1: PVC-U windows and doors Lot 2: Timber windows and doors Lot 3: Aluminium-clad timber windows and doors The engagement will also explore opportunities for innovation and potential additional workstreams, including high-performance and enhanced-security products, heritage-compliant designs, advanced glazing solutions, emerging materials, and potentially inspection and maintenance services (noting that maintenance is also covered under alternative LHCPG products). ### Planning Information This pre market engagement is being undertaken to inform the development of a proposed Windows and Doors Framework (WD3). The engagement will seek input from the market on the proposed scope, lotting structure, technical requirements, competency and accreditation standards, innovation opportunities, and delivery models. Engagement will be conducted through a combination of written market engagement questions and optional virtual engagement sessions. Interested parties will be invited to provide feedback on draft proposals, including the proposed lot structure, product coverage, emerging regulatory requirements, and opportunities for product and service innovation. No commercial or pricing information will be requested or considered as part of this engagement. Participation in this engagement is voluntary and will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process. The contracting authority may use the feedback received to refine the scope and structure of the future procurement but is not obliged to act on any specific responses. Any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the applicable procurement legislation and will be subject to a separate formal procurement process and notices. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013777-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Apr 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2026 - 31 Jul 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LHC PROCUREMENT GROUP FOR THE WELSH PROCUREMENT ALLIANCE (WPA) | | Locality | YSTRAD MYNACH | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF82 7FQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL53 Gwent Valleys | | Local authority | Caerphilly | | Electoral ward | Ystrad Mynach | | Westminster constituency | Caerphilly | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44221000 - Windows, doors and related items - 45421100 - Installation of doors and windows and related components ## Release History - 16 Feb 2026 at 11:58 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013777-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013777-2026 16th February 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.lhcprocure.org.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
