Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited is seeking a registered gas service provider to carry out out-of-hours gas service checks at domestic properties where access has proved difficult. The provider will contact tenants using details supplied by Derby Homes and arrange access to complete the checks, likely outside the usual 8am–5pm working day. The work supports Derby Homes in meeting its legal duties as a social housing landlord. This is a gas appliance maintenance service delivered at properties in Derby and the surrounding area. The requirement focuses on reaching tenants who have not been accessible during normal service arrangements and completing the required checks at their homes.

Derby Homes invited offers through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 9 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 January to 10 July 2027, with an optional six-month extension at Derby Homes’ discretion, subject to budget and service satisfaction. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£50,000 including VAT). There is one lot, reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises across the UK. Suppliers must meet the technical requirements; award assessment considers general capability and capacity, then quality and price, weighted equally at 50% each.

This opportunity suits gas service businesses able to deliver domestic gas checks outside standard working hours and arrange access directly with tenants. Providers must be registered with an approved gas body, able to certify their own work and produce building control notices. Derby Homes will assess bidders’ general capability and capacity before evaluating written method statements and priced elements, so suppliers need to demonstrate credible delivery arrangements alongside competitive pricing. The work is explicitly suitable for SMEs and reserved to SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is a single-lot service of relatively limited scale, with an optional extension dependent on budget and satisfactory service performance.
