Summary of the contracting process

Key Housing Association bought gas appliance maintenance, gas servicing and reactive repair services for its housing stock. The requirement covered approximately 576 dwellings across southern and central Scotland and 65 dwellings in the Highlands of Scotland, with address lists defining the initial service areas and scope for a wider geographical area in future. The work also included ad hoc boiler changes, full heating-system renewals and associated works where required. The arrangement was divided into two service areas: southern and central Scotland, and the Highlands. This is a housing maintenance services requirement, with work carried out across domestic properties rather than at a single site. Key Housing Association acted as the buyer and central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was divided into two lots, with separate suppliers selected: Lot 1, covering southern and central Scotland, was awarded to James Frew Ltd; Lot 2, covering the Highlands, was awarded to Richard Irvin FM Limited. The award date was 3 July 2023 and both contracts were signed on 23 August 2023. Lot 1 has a contract value of £598,423.70; Lot 2 has a contract value of £438,091.00. Each contract has a stated duration of 1,080 days, based on an initial three-year period, with options for multiple single-year extensions at the client’s discretion. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and cost of service at 40%. Two bids were received for each lot, all from SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Key Housing Association for planned gas servicing, gas-appliance maintenance, reactive repairs and heating-system renewal across a substantial dispersed housing portfolio in Scotland. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience delivering responsive gas and heating repairs across multiple domestic properties, with the operational capacity to cover either the southern and central areas or the Highlands. GasSafe membership and accreditation was required, together with NICEIC, SELECT, Part P or equivalent accreditation. Suppliers also needed suitably qualified and experienced staff, and bidders were required to provide staff names and qualifications. Performance would be managed through key performance indicators, with electronic ordering, invoicing and payment arrangements. The two-lot structure indicates that SMEs can compete for a defined geographical service area rather than necessarily covering the whole requirement.
