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.
