Our National framework partnerships

CR Smith is proud to be an approved supplier on three of Scotland’s leading public sector procurement frameworks.

These partnerships reflect our commitment to quality, compliance, and delivering energy-efficient window and door solutions that support the country’s net-zero ambitions.

PfH Scotland – Planned Works & Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

We are an appointed supplier on the PfH Scotland Windows and Doors Framework, supporting social landlords across Scotland with planned works.

This includes the supply and installation of high-performance windows and doors, helping to improve energy efficiency and tenant comfort.

Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) – WD2 Framework

CR Smith is proud to be part of the SPA WD2 Framework, a £30 million procurement route for PVC-U, timber, and aluminium-clad windows and doors.

This framework enables local authorities and housing associations to access pre-approved, high-quality suppliers for both supply-only and full installation services.

Scotland Excel – Energy Efficiency & Reactive Maintenance Framework

As part of this £800 million framework, CR Smith delivers window and door upgrades that contribute to energy efficiency and net-zero goals.

This framework supports councils and housing associations in tackling fuel poverty and reducing carbon emissions through vetted, high-quality suppliers.

Why frameworks matter.

  • Pre-approved quality: Our rigorous vetting across three frameworks means you can appoint us directly or via mini-competition, skipping a full open tender process.
  • Efficient procurement: Direct award or mini-competition routes mean faster mobilisation. Critical when EPC improvement deadlines are tight.
  • Net-zero alignment: Our A-rated products contribute directly to Scotland’s 2032 EPC-B requirement for social housing.
  • Community impact: We deliver local employment and community benefits through our projects.

How to appoint CR Smith through a framework

Being on all three major Scottish frameworks means your procurement team can appoint CR Smith quickly and compliantly, without running a full tender process. Here’s how it typically works:

 

 

Direct award or mini-competition

Depending on the value of your programme, you can either appoint us directly under the framework’s direct award threshold, or run a mini-competition among approved suppliers. We can advise on which route is most appropriate for your project.
