What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionReplacement Windows and Doors
South Lakes Housing provides much needed Social Housing across the beautiful South Lakes area of Cumbria.
We provide services to nearly 3500 households. Our planned maintenance is a critical service ensuring that homes meet decency standards and provide a safe and warm home.
South Lakes housing are seeking suppliers experienced in the supply and fitting of PVCu windows and frames and composite doors to domestic properties in Social Housing environments.
Preferably bidders will have experience of working in the South Lakes Region or be able to demonstrate working in similar geographically challenging regions of the UK.
The successful contractor must be able to work within our values and behaviours framework.
- Not divided into lots: The project is already deemed to be at the lower end of the volumes required to generate the level of interest we would like for this contract. We do not believe we would get value for money by fragmenting this work any further
