Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, conducted a public procurement process titled "Washingwell Primary - Heating Boiler replacement" in the Works industry category. This project involved replacing two ageing heating boilers at Washingwell Primary to prevent service disruption. Located in Gateshead, UK (region UKC22), the procurement used a direct method below the threshold, meaning it was awarded without competition. The process has reached the contract stage, with the contract being active from the 29th to the 31st of October 2025, valued at £45,097.56.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in boiler installation and maintenance. Given the direct procurement method and specific work requirements like boiler installation classified under CPV code 45331110, companies with expertise in this area, especially SMEs, would have been ideal contenders. Although Commercial Maintenance Services UK Limited was awarded the contract, similar projects in the future could benefit other businesses offering competitive services in the region.
