Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Hillingdon appointed a contractor for domestic gas heating systems across Hillingdon. The service covers servicing, responsive breakdown maintenance and remedial works for the council’s gas-fired appliances, central-heating installations and hot-water systems. Its purpose is to keep these assets legally compliant, safe and serviceable under current gas safety, installation and use regulations. The work includes boiler installation and boiler repair and maintenance services. This is a public-sector housing and building-services requirement suited to heating, mechanical and electrical services contractors operating in Hillingdon. The council is the buyer and the requirement is for one service provider responsible for the whole service.

This awarded procurement used an open procedure. The tender closed on 1 April 2026 at 13:00, the award period ended on 17 July 2026, and 19 valid bids were received. Oakray Limited was awarded the contract on 25 June 2026 for £15,285,844 excluding VAT (£18,343,012 including VAT). The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 24 September 2030, with an option to extend to 24 September 2032, subject to performance and council requirements. Bids were evaluated equally on quality and commercial price, each weighted at 50%. The contract is active and the tender status is complete. The requirement was a single lot and was above the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Hillingdon for an integrated domestic heating compliance and maintenance service. Suppliers competing for comparable work with this buyer would need capability in planned servicing, responsive breakdowns, remedial repairs, boiler installation and central-heating and hot-water systems. Gas Safe Registration and ACS qualifications, including CCN1 and relevant appliance modules or equivalents, were specified as technical pass/fail requirements. Credible competitors would also need to manage legally compliant gas work, service quality, first-time fixes and timely job completion across a sizeable council asset base. The field attracted 19 valid bids, including 14 from SMEs, indicating that both established larger contractors and suitably resourced smaller heating specialists can compete. Strong quality systems and commercial pricing were equally important in the evaluation.
