Summary of the contracting process

Norwich City Council has completed the awarding stage of the "Domestic Heating Upgrades" contract (NRW/21293), specifically targeting council-owned dwellings in the East of England. The contract, valued at £3,100,000, is aimed at upgrading domestic heating systems, including central-heating radiators and boilers. The procurement was conducted via a direct award from an existing framework agreement with Eastern Procurement Limited (EPL). The award was made to Dodd Group (Eastern) Limited on 13 November 2024, and the contract is set to run from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. This follows a previous award (NRW/21043) where the contract was extended and varied in value due to various administrative actions in 2024.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs involved in the central heating and maintenance sector. By leveraging the procurement framework with EPL, companies can benefit from streamlined processes and potentially secure future contracts. Businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services of central heating systems are especially well-suited to compete, ensuring their services provide value for money and meet the council’s work standards. The direct award demonstrates the importance of maintaining strong relationships with public sector bodies to facilitate seamless procurement processes.
