Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for linking College House to the Leeds PIPES network has been successfully completed by Leeds City Council. With a focus on the district heating sector, this procurement falls under the works category. The direct award method was utilised, bypassing a traditional competitive tender process. The project is strategically positioned in Leeds, and the contract period commenced on 25th June 2025 and is slated to conclude on 21st November 2025. Vital Energi Utilities Ltd, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded the contract valued at £214,780.30. The procurement stage is at the award phase with the award notice published on 22nd July 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in district heating infrastructure and related services. Companies experienced in managing large-scale utilities connections would find this contract aligned with their capabilities, despite the procurement being completed via a direct award. Working with or supplying to entities such as Vital Energi Utilities Ltd may offer potential growth avenues for subcontractors or associated service providers. While not ideally suited for SMEs or VCSEs given the tender's direct award process and scale, businesses operating on a larger scale within the infrastructure sector can leverage insights from this procurement for future opportunities.
