Cladding Tenders and Contracts

A cladding tender covers the supply, replacement or repair of external wall cladding, rainscreen and render systems on a public building. Fire safety remediation on high-rise or multi-occupancy blocks is a common driver. Buyers may publish these as standalone contracts or as part of a wider refurbishment package.

Stotles brings together cladding tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Cladding remediation is often called off from building safety and construction frameworks, and housing associations publish recladding schemes on Find a Tender.

Cladding tenders are scored on price alongside the fire safety solution, design and product certification, programme, resident liaison and safety record. Remediation programmes often run through building safety frameworks, so a framework place opens up repeat work.

Cladding remediation must meet the Building Regulations for external walls and the Building Safety Act 2022 regime for higher-risk buildings, and buyers expect tested and certified systems. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar projects at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Cladding work is usually tendered as a design and build or refurbishment contract, with recladding of a college or school building run as a single project. Fire risk appraisals and surveys for external walls are often awarded directly through a framework so that assessments can start without delay.

Councils, NHS trusts, housing associations and central government departments buy cladding work. Each buyer runs its own procurement process, so the exact requirements and timelines vary between contracts.

Read building safety programmes, fire risk appraisal schedules, residential block investment plans and early engagement notices for recladding schemes, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Cladding notices carry 45262650 (Cladding works), 45443000 (Facade work) and 45453100 (Refurbishment work). Fire risk appraisals of external walls are classified under 71317100 (Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services).
