Summary of the contracting process

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust procured plumbing and heating maintenance services for its sites. The requirement covers ad hoc repairs, supply and installation, commissioning, servicing and statutory checks for sanitary ware, pipework and ground-level drainage. It is a service contract with an associated supply element, classified under repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The work supports the Trust’s estate and includes both reactive maintenance and planned activities arising from faults, new installations and compliance obligations. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, and delivery is required across the Trust’s sites.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. Lancashire Gas Services Ltd, also identified as Lancashire Gas, was selected on 15 May 2026, with a contract value of £1,390,000 excluding VAT and £1,668,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2028, with optional extensions allowing it to continue until 29 June 2030. The tender deadline was 6 March 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 18 February 2026, and the award decision was due by 25 March 2026. Eight bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted the commercial questionnaire at 40%, technical questionnaire at 50% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust for a capable building-services maintenance provider able to cover sanitary ware, pipework, ground-level drainage and heating across multiple Trust sites. A credible competitor would need economic and technical capacity evidenced through supplier information and the specification, together with experience delivering reactive repairs, new installations, commissioning, servicing and statutory checks. Operational readiness is important: the service requires rapid emergency response, routine attendance within one working day, prompt mobilisation for accepted installation quotations and a strong first-time-fix rate. Suppliers would also need robust emergency call handling and follow-up reporting, reliable workmanship and parts selection, and the ability to monitor performance against formal service KPIs while offering measurable social value.
