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.
