two.1.4) Short description
Windows & 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
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to pre-market engagement being undertaken in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and associated Scottish procurement legislation to inform the development of WD3 across Scotland.
The engagement will seek market input on the proposed scope and structure of the framework, including the lotting arrangements, technical and performance requirements, competency and accreditation standards, compliance with current and emerging regulatory requirements, and appropriate delivery models. It will also explore opportunities for innovation and potential additional workstreams, such as 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).
Engagement will be conducted through written market engagement questions and optional virtual sessions. Interested parties will be invited to review and comment on draft proposals, including lot structure and product coverage. No commercial or pricing information will be requested or evaluated as part of this exercise.
