Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Preston College procured gas equipment maintenance and repair services for non-domestic equipment with a rated input above 500kW. The requirement covers building installation maintenance and repair, together with technical inspection and testing. Delivery is associated with Preston College at St Vincent’s Road, Fulwood, Preston, and the procurement identifies the North West as the service area. The arrangement is Lot 2 of the NWUPC Facilities Services framework, EFM3141 NW. This is a services contract for organisations able to maintain, repair, inspect and test large non-domestic gas equipment in an institutional facilities setting. The procurement records wider delivery coverage across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere, although the named buyer is Preston College in Preston.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 1pm, and the award was made on 31 July 2026. The original estimated value was £210,000. The contract was awarded to GOS Heating Ltd for £249,621.65. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement under Lot 2. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement was evaluated within an open competition for services involving gas equipment maintenance, repair, technical inspection and testing, with the awarded supplier selected for the stated framework requirement.

This award indicates established demand from Preston College for specialist maintenance and repair of large non-domestic gas equipment, supported by inspection and testing services. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in equipment with a rated input above 500kW, with the operational capacity to maintain institutional or other non-domestic installations across the North West. Firms should be able to deliver both responsive repair and planned maintenance, while also carrying out technically robust inspections and testing. The successful supplier is GOS Heating Ltd, showing that a specialist heating business can secure this type of institutional facilities work. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist may be competitive where it can demonstrate dependable service delivery, technical competence and sufficient coverage for the buyer’s facilities.
