Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council has concluded an open tender process for Heating Plant Maintenance Services, focusing on commercial properties. This procurement, initiated as a tender and now in the award stage, covers the service category of repair and maintenance services within the UK, specifically in the region of UKH21. The Council, acting as the contract authority, sought services relevant to their estate management, including infrastructure like offices, community centres, and schools. The procurement method was an open procedure under the legal framework of CELEX, with the contract signed with Heattreat on 22nd June 2023, set to span up to five years, subject to performance. Key deadlines in this project included a tender submission deadline on 24th April 2023.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in heating system maintenance and offers substantial growth potential, especially for SMEs already established in or willing to serve the UK market. The contract value reaches up to £2,500,000, comprising a variety of service needs for the Council’s properties and potentially outside the borough. The open procedure allows fair competition, encouraging small and medium enterprises to participate, aiming at ensuring quality services at competitive pricing, making it ideal for firms with strengths in repair, maintenance services, and compliance management in heating plants. Despite the competitive nature, Heattreat emerged as the supplier, setting a benchmark for quality and cost-efficiency in similar tenders.
