Summary of the contracting process

Almond Housing Association Ltd., located in Livingston, is overseeing the "Gas Servicing and Maintenance Contract" for periodic servicing and inspection of heating appliances and installations. This procurement process falls under the services category and employs a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The initial tender stage concluded on 25th November 2024, with an aim to maintain service until 2026 with options for extension. This contract involves maintenance services as per CPV code 50000000, covering areas in the UKM78 region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in gas appliance maintenance services, as the contract requires comprehensive expertise in periodic servicing and responsive maintenance.
