Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured servicing, maintenance and installation of domestic gas heating systems and appliances. This is a domestic heating and plumbing service, covering work in the South West of England. The council intended to appoint one contractor to carry out the requirement. The scope combines ongoing servicing and maintenance with installation, so it covers both care of existing domestic heating equipment and fitting systems or appliances. The buyer is based in Exeter. The procurement is relevant to firms delivering domestic gas heating services and installations, particularly those able to provide a single-contractor service across the stated area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Liberty Gas Group Ltd. The council used a restricted procedure, with one contractor intended for the full requirement. The estimated procurement value and awarded value were both £6.4 million. The award was made on 29 August 2023. The contract period runs from 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2026, with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months; the stated contract dates cover the initial three-year term. The submission deadline was 14 July 2023 at 5pm. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available award information does not provide separate lot outcomes or evaluation criteria.

The award shows Exeter City Council buys a substantial, single-contractor package combining domestic gas heating servicing, maintenance and installation across the South West. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to manage all three activities as one service, rather than offer installation or servicing alone. The selected supplier was a large company, while the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms were considered eligible to compete. Suppliers should be prepared to show they can deliver the full scope and provide consistent domestic heating support across the stated area. The restricted route used here is also relevant: experience of competing through a restricted procedure would help a supplier navigate a similar competition.
