Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council procured comprehensive electrical and mechanical servicing for its hot-water and heating assets and associated plant across Norfolk. The service covers compliance inspections, testing, certification and reporting for domestic and large commercial systems. Equipment includes gas, oil and biofuel boilers, vented and unvented water heaters, standard electrical water heaters and air-source heat pumps. The requirement combines electrical services with mechanical and electrical engineering services. The appointed provider is expected to ensure that all systems are tested, certified and reported in accordance with current regulatory standards. The council is the buyer, with delivery spanning its property portfolio across Norfolk, including Norwich, North and West Norfolk, and the Breckland and South Norfolk areas.

This completed procurement used an open competitive flexible procedure. It was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs, and attracted six final-stage bids. Evaluation combined quality and price equally, with bidders required to pass a quality threshold before price scores were added and suppliers ranked. The contract was awarded to ADVANCED SERVICES LTD on 10 July 2026 for £3,715,473 gross (£3,096,227 excluding VAT). The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2029, with two discretionary 12-month extensions available until 1 August 2031. Norfolk County Council also reserved the right to make additional purchases above the forecast value and to adjust the property portfolio through formal change control.

This award shows sustained demand from Norfolk County Council for a single provider able to manage mixed domestic and commercial heating and hot-water assets across a broad public-sector property portfolio. Credible competitors would need proven capability in gas, oil and biofuel boilers, vented and unvented water heaters, electrical water heaters, air-source heat pumps, and associated mechanical and electrical plant. They would also need to deliver regulatory compliance inspections, certification and accurate service records at scale, including where asset information develops or properties are added and removed. Performance expectations include attending services by their due dates, keeping compliance paperwork current within 10 working days, and responding to reactive work within four hours to make critical services safe. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs.
