Home Fix Scotland are seeking to appoint three highly competent and experienced contractors to become a party to a ‘Supply of UPVC Window & Doors’ framework. The purpose of this framework is to assist Home Fix Scotland in ensuring our parent company River Clyde Homes properties are kept up to the required standard.
River Clyde Homes is a ‘not for profit’ affordable housing provider that owns and manages over 5,800 homes and provides factoring services to a further 2,200 homes in the Inverclyde area.
For Ad-hoc requirements, HFS will supply the successful bidder with the relevant measurements and the windows/doors must be manufactured and delivered to HFS’ depot at Springkell Street, Greenock, within 15 working days of instruction.
For planned ‘Full House’ window / door supply, the preferred bidder will be responsible for undertaking the site measurements, manufacture, and subsequent delivery times and locations will be agreed with the relevant lead officer on the project. After the initial instruction from HFS it will be the bidder’s responsibility to contact the tenant to arrange access to the property.
The technical specification that the windows and doors require to adhere to are provided within Appendix F ‘Technical Specification’. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “uPVC Windows & Doors Supply Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
