Summary of the contracting process

KBS Maritime Ltd is initiating a restricted tender process for the "Portsmouth Naval Base Gas Works" project, aimed at inspecting and updating gas safety shut-off systems within the naval base’s living and catering facilities. This project, classified under the mains gas industry category (CPV code 09121200) and several related categories, involves tasks such as reviewing, replacing, and ensuring compliance of outdated equipment with modern safety standards. The tender is currently active, with key dates including a tender period end date on 21 March 2025 and an estimated contract period from 22 March 2025 to 23 March 2025. This opportunity is located in Portsmouth, with service reach extending to the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and other European and international locations. The estimated value of the contract is GBP 1,500,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in gas system installations, maintenance, and safety compliance to expand their portfolio and engage in a high-profile government project. Companies proficient in working with solenoid valves, extraction systems, gas detection units, and ventilation interlocks would be particularly well-suited. Although not specifically targeted at SMEs or voluntary community sector enterprises, larger firms with expertise in conventional and hybrid heat pumps, gas-fired boilers, and modern compliant safety equipment are strongly encouraged to participate. The requirement for a district heat network, thermal performance evaluations, and adherence to the Net Carbon Zero strategy underscores the need for contractors well-versed in sustainable energy solutions and modern building services engineering.
