Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has successfully completed its procurement process for the "CPU 5361 Mechanical Contracting Framework". The contracting authority sought tenders for the supply, installation, maintenance, repairs, servicing, and testing of mechanical systems across its property portfolio in Nottingham. This process has now reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 3rd November 2025, and services commencing on 4th November 2025, running through to 30th September 2029. The tender, under the industry category of mechanical installations, utilised an open procedure method. The value of the awarded contract is £5,400,000, and it follows a closed framework agreement allowing for further competition beyond direct awards.

This procurement opens significant opportunities for qualified contractors specialising in mechanical installations and maintenance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Midland Counties Heating Services Limited, Miller Freeman & Sons (Nottingham) Limited, and Sureserve Compliance Central Limited have been appointed to the framework, suggesting that businesses of similar scale and expertise could find similar tenders appealing for expansion. The framework supports direct awards for contracts up to £5,000, while larger contracts are subject to further competition, offering flexibility and growth opportunities for participating businesses. Location-specific expertise in Nottingham and the wider UK region can provide a competitive edge for interested firms.
