Summary of the contracting process

Luton Borough Council has issued an open tender for a framework procurement focused on mechanical services support, specifically in heating works. The procurement process includes domestic gas servicing, boiler replacement and communal boiler servicing, alongside water treatment services. The total contract value is estimated at £14,600,000 GBP, covering numerous locations including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. The awarding stage of the procurement was completed as of 13th January 2026. This process adopts an open procedure, and the contract period spans from 1st April 2023 to 4th April 2027. The tender initial process concluded on 20th March 2023, with Luton Borough Council acting as the buying organisation, led by contact point Christopher Newman.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the mechanical services and environmental building services sectors, particularly for SMEs. Potential contenders for this tender could range from suppliers of domestic gas servicing to companies specialising in water treatment and boiler maintenance services. The framework's structure allows participation in multiple lots, increasing potential market share for those involved. Furthermore, the potential for ad-hoc projects offers additional avenues for businesses to secure work. Engaging in competitive mini bids could establish long-term partnerships and provide a steady stream of contracts, essential for business growth and sustainability.
