Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council recently completed a procurement process titled "Replacement Boilers," focusing on boiler replacement works to remove obsolete boilers and install new ones in a different basement plant room. This contract, in the works industry category, was awarded using a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature. Key activities involved delivering construction materials, pipeline equipment, radiators, and other related items across multiple UK regions including UKC to UKK. The entire contract process was brought to completion by 4 February 2026 with the works being active from 18 September 2025 until 20 February 2026, having the potential for renewal due to supply chain considerations.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction, plumbing, and heating sectors. Companies that supply and install boilers, building construction materials, or engage in site preparation and plumbing works are excellently positioned to compete in similar tenders. The contract's structure, with potential options for additional purchases and modifications, offers a pathway for sustained collaboration, making it particularly attractive to businesses aiming to scale operations through strategic public sector projects.
