Published requirement description

This framework is intended for organisations with their own manufacturing capability and is not open to installation contractors or distributors without manufacturing facilities.

The Windows, Doors and Associated Works (WD3) Framework covers the manufacture, supply, installation, maintenance, repair and associated works relating to a wide range of window, door and glazing systems across public sector residential, commercial, educational and mixed-use buildings. The framework is intended to support both planned and responsive projects and may include replacement, refurbishment, remediation, compliance and maintenance activities together with associated components and ancillary works. This includes, but is not limited to, entrance doors, communal doors, screens, glazing systems, curtain walling, access control integration, hardware, framing, making-good works and specialist security or fire-rated products where required. The framework may also support surveys, inspections, planned preventative maintenance, emergency repairs and investigative works associated with existing installations.

The framework is designed to support a broad range of publicly funded building types, including housing, schools, universities, healthcare facilities, municipal buildings, offices, care environments and other public sector premises across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All works undertaken under the framework are expected to comply with applicable building regulations, safety legislation, environmental requirements and recognised industry standards relevant to the geographical area and project type at the point of call-off. The framework also places emphasis on quality assurance, competency, sustainability, product conformity, compliance with the Building Safety Act and the delivery of safe, durable and legislatively compliant installations throughout the lifecycle of the project.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Jun 2030, 23:59 BST.

Who may buy through it

This Framework Agreement may be used by LHC Procurement Group Limited and by any contracting authority permitted to access LHC frameworks, including but not limited to local authorities, housing associations, registered social landlords, tenant management organisations, arm's length management organisations, central government departments, NHS bodies, education establishments, and other public sector bodies located within the United Kingdom.

The Framework is available for use across the United Kingdom and is structured by regional lots covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Published description of the framework

Contracts under this Framework Agreement will be awarded via call-off procedures in accordance with the Framework terms. Contracting Authorities may award contracts by either conducting a mini-competition among all capable appointed suppliers within the relevant Lot and region or by direct award, where an appointed supplier is identified as best meeting the project requirements in accordance with defined criteria.

Pricing is determined through a Schedule of Rates and associated overheads and profit submitted at tender stage, which are combined to produce a project cost for evaluation. Evaluation is undertaken on the basis of the most advantageous tender, using a balance of quality and price to ensure sustainable delivery and value for money.

The Framework is structured to enable multiple call-off contracts throughout its duration and provides flexibility to accommodate additional projects, phased works and evolving client requirements.

  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Windows, Doors & Associated Works (Manufacturer Only)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
