Summary of the contracting process

Brighton & Hove City Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Heating and Hot Water Servicing, Maintenance, Repair and Installation in Council Housing." This contract is set to address the servicing needs of approximately 10,000 domestic and 32 commercial gas plant properties, with the existing contract expiring in March 2023. A Pre-Tender Market Engagement event is scheduled for 18 November 2021, with a deadline for attendee registration on 17 November 2021. This initiative falls under the category of plumbing equipment, particularly focused on gas appliances and heat pumps, and is located in the South East region of the UK.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heating, plumbing, and gas services, especially those with expertise in low and zero-carbon alternatives like air source heat pumps. With the Council’s ambition for carbon neutrality by 2030 and potential future bans on gas boilers, companies that can offer innovative and efficient heating solutions will be well-positioned to compete. The engagement event aims to inform interested parties of the future contract, allowing them to adapt their services in line with the Council's evolving requirements.
