• Love Me Tender – £60 Million For Installers

Emplas’ Commercial Window Group has delivered in excess of 250 tenders and £60 million of business opportunities in under 12 months to its members. We report.

The Commercial Window Group is a new build and social specification installer partnership that was launched in September 2024. The exclusive installer network combines national specifications and supply, with installation by regional new build and social specification specialists.

Jody Vincent, the sales director at Emplas, says: “The new build housing sector has been more challenging for the past two or three years, yet despite tough trading conditions and lower new build outputs, we’ve achieved an exceptional level of tenders and high conversion rates.”

Vincent continues: “With the commitments that the government has made to deliver more homes and to reform the planning process, the sector is expected to deliver a significant increase in demand from housebuilders, housing associations and registered social landlords, in the second half of this year.”

The government unveiled its strategy to deliver 1.5 million new homes earlier this year, including a major shake-up of the planning system and release of new funding.

 

Forecasts

A new report released by construction specialist Glenigan, suggests that on the back of these changes, after a contraction of 8% last year, the private new build sector will see a strong rebound of 8% in 2025.

The Construction Industry Forecast for the UK and Republic of Ireland, published in June this year, forecasts that this will be followed by a further 10% growth in 2026 and 18% in 2025. This reflects a renewed appetite for new build housing development as inflation falls and consumer confidence and household budgets increase.

The social and affordable housing sector is predicted to see growth of 3% this year, 8% in 2026 and 11% in 2027 as government spending on affordable and social housing translates into more social starts in the second half of this year. This compares to a contraction of 11% last year.

To support network members in winning new business, the Commercial Window Group offers 12 months’ fixed pricing on window and door supply and product guarantees underwritten by Emplas as the manufacturer.

 

New member opportunities

Vincent says: “The Commercial Window Group launched with founder partner members. The demand that we’re seeing, has however, exceeded our expectations and while memberships are limited, we are open to exploring new opportunities with qualifying potential partners in areas not already covered by members.”
