Supply/Distribution of Internal Doors DPS
Framework Description
L&Q's Supply and Distribution of Internal Doors DPS (reference Head Office 00001561) is run by London and Quadrant Housing Trust with its construction subsidiary, Quadrant Construction Services. It buys internal doors for L&Q's self-delivered new build housing projects and is for distributors and suppliers only. Published in February 2023 for 96 months, it is a single-lot DPS that runs to 15 February 2031.
Context & Use Case
Quadrant Construction Services orders internal doors for each development from suppliers admitted to the DPS, competing requirements under the DPS rules. Doors must meet L&Q's specifications and arrive in line with fit-out programmes, so reliable distribution to sites across London and the South East matters as much as the unit price.
Scope of Services
Supply of internal doors to L&Q new build sites Distribution and logistics for new build projects Compliance with L&Q specifications
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Internal door manufacturers, distributors and joinery suppliers that meet the DPS pre-qualification criteria. The notice gives 16 February 2027 as the time limit for requests to participate, so apply through L&Q's supplier portal before then. Experience of supplying new build housing projects at scale strengthens an application.
Buyer Benefits
Competing door supply among several admitted suppliers protects L&Q against delays and price rises during fit-out, when late deliveries hold up handovers. Because the DPS stays open to new entrants, L&Q can add suppliers that offer better lead times, prices or delivery coverage as its development programme changes.
Next Steps
Register on L&Q's In-tend supplier portal, find the Internal Doors DPS and complete the pre-qualification questionnaire. Prepare product specifications and certification, lead times, delivery coverage and capacity, and references from housebuilders or housing associations. Once admitted, respond promptly and accurately to each requirement, as delivery reliability will be tested on every order.
