Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council is seeking suppliers for the "Solid Fuel Servicing & Chimney Sweeping" contract, focusing on furnace and chimney cleaning services within the UKF region, United Kingdom. The procurement process, now at the tender cancellation stage as of 25 March 2026, initially involved managing 50 properties requiring these services. Originally set for tender submission by 13 March 2026, this procurement encountered budgetary challenges, resulting in the cancellation of awards due to bids exceeding the proposed budget. This opportunity was governed under legal basis 2023/54 and intended for a 2-year contract starting 6 April 2026, with possibilities for extension.

This tender presents growth potential for businesses specialising in services such as chimney sweeping and solid fuel servicing. Despite its recent cancellation, companies within these sectors should monitor similar opportunities from public authority buyers like Chesterfield Borough Council. Firms fitting the bill may include small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are welcome to participate in such competitions, given the procurement method's suitability criteria. As the procurement method was "below threshold - open competition," businesses are encouraged to prepare for potential revisions or future calls by ensuring their technical capability and price competitiveness meet specified criteria.
