Supply and Fit of Windows and Doors - 2026

This notice serves to inform the market that Bromford Flagship LiveWest (BFL) is undertaking pre‐market engagement in relation to a potential future procurement opportunity for the supply and installation of uPVC windows and composite doors. This notice is issued for information‐gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment to proceed with any procurement.

The potential scope under consideration relates to works primarily to existing residential properties (including occupied and void homes) and may include, but is not limited to:

Supply and installation of uPVC windows

Supply and installation of composite external doors

Associated surveying, removal of existing products, making good, and waste disposal

Compliance with relevant statutory, regulatory, health and safety, and quality requirements

Should BFL decide to progress a procurement at a later date, the envisaged contractual approach would include an initial term of 12 months, with the option to extend for up to three further 12‐month periods, subject to performance and business need. The indicative estimated value for the first 12 months is £9.1 million (including VAT). This estimate is provided for context only and may change.

Any future procurement, if undertaken, would relate only to Flagship requirements and Flagship’s current operational area.

The purpose of this pre‐market engagement is to:

Obtain supplier feedback on Flagship’s current windows and doors specification

Consider how the specification could be improved, simplified, or modernised

Identify potential cost‐reduction and value‐for‐money opportunities while maintaining appropriate standards of quality, safety, durability, and resident experience

Inform internal option appraisal and future commercial decision‐making

While this engagement relates solely to Flagship requirements, feedback may also be used to inform future high‐level procurement scoping across the wider group. This notice does not imply that any future tender will be issued, either for Flagship alone or on a group‐wide basis.

We’re BFL, a place‐based affordable housing provider for almost 300,000 customers across the southwest, central and east of England. We’re the UK’s largest provider of new affordable homes, delivering over 3,000 new homes each year.

Participation in this pre‐market engagement:

Is voluntary

Does not form part of a procurement or selection process

Will not confer any advantage in any future tender

Will be used for market understanding only

No tender documents will be issued at this stage. Bromford Flagship LiveWest reserves the right to amend, refine, pause, or withdraw the scope described.

Engagement response process

Suppliers wishing to contribute to this engagement will be invited to complete an anonymous online survey (issued via Microsoft Forms, SurveyMonkey, or an equivalent platform). The survey will seek structured feedback to support a review of the specification and key cost drivers.

Details of how to access the survey will be provided to those who respond to this notice.
