What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWindows & 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).

Pipeline intelligence · planning stage: how this market runs before the tender is published
Competition for Joinery and carpentry installation work (CPV 4542), and who usually turns up
LHC Procurement Group has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. No delivery region is published, so no market column stands beside whatever it has. This notice is a framework or DPS, so only frameworks and DPS are compared. Whole-market view: Joinery and carpentry installation work (CPV 4542) →
How the contest usually goes

How did awards compare with estimates?

Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
