Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council recently completed a procurement process under the title "SBC1124 Mechanical Services - Corporate Estate," with the contract being awarded on 17th October 2025. This procurement was categorised under mechanical engineering services, specifically using the CPV code 71333000. The contract, valued at £525,000, covers the provision of mechanical services for various corporate buildings within Stevenage. The procurement stage is complete with the procurement method following a restricted procedure, and the location of the contract is within the UKH23 region. The previously set deadline for the tender submission ended on 20th March 2025, following an invitation to tender to selected suppliers.

This tender opens up significant growth potential for businesses specializing in mechanical engineering services. Companies that provide services such as gas boiler servicing, water hygiene assessments, air conditioning maintenance, and duct cleaning are particularly well-suited to this contract. Given the contract's focus on corporate estate rather than domestic properties, companies with experience in managing large-scale facilities management contracts may find this opportunity lucrative. This process was selectively tendered, implying that businesses with strong quality assurance credentials, competitive pricing, and social value propositions had the opportunity to compete, as reflected in the assessment criteria which allocated 50% to quality and 40% to pricing.
