Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the communal heating boiler replacement works at Arkwright House, Huntingdon Gardens, and Chelmsford Court has been overseen by Platform Housing Group, with the tender awarded to Dodd Group (Midlands) Ltd. The project, classified under the industry category of "Building installation work," encompasses central-heating and boiler installation works across multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. The procurement was processed as a mini-competition under the EEM Heating and Hot Water Systems Framework, executed through an e-tendering portal managed by Platform Housing Group. The procurement stage has reached the award phase as of 6th August 2026, following the conclusion of the tender period on 10th July 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £1,399,668.36, commenced on 3rd August 2026 and is expected to conclude by 30th October 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in mechanical installations, particularly those specialising in heating systems. With a contract value exceeding one million pounds and a clear focus on high-quality building installation work, this project is notably suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver complex mechanical and electrical requirements. Organisations with expertise in central-heating and boiler installations are encouraged to consider future similar procurements, as the involvement in such large-scale public tenders can boost business growth credentials and lead to more substantial contracts within the public sector. Additionally, firms with the capability to work across broad geographical areas, including overseas territories, will find the scope of this project aligns well with their service provisions.
