Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council appointed a single contractor to replace boilers in approximately 1,300 tenanted properties and replace complete gas heating systems in approximately 3,400 tenanted properties across the Renfrewshire local authority area. The requirement covers the supply and installation of boilers and full gas heating systems, including gas-fitting and central-heating installation work, together with defects-liability maintenance after installation. The Council remains responsible for annual gas servicing. This is a works contract for domestic heating infrastructure in council housing, rather than a standalone servicing requirement. The buying organisation is Renfrewshire Council, based in Paisley. The work is structured as one requirement and was intended to be delivered by one sole contractor throughout Renfrewshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. McTear Contracts Ltd was selected as the sole supplier, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026 for £18,079,000. The planned contract period was 720 days, with the Council reserving the right to extend it for up to 12 months on two separate occasions. The procurement used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 April 2026 at 12:00, when two Council officers opened the bids. Evaluation was based on 70% price and 30% quality: works delivery, value, zero defects, Fair Work First, and community-benefit outcomes and methodology. Eleven bids were received, including seven from SMEs. It was a measured-term contract with no guaranteed minimum work, continuity or value.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Renfrewshire Council for domestic boiler replacement and complete gas-heating-system installation across tenanted housing. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to manage a large, geographically distributed programme of supply and installation, supported by competent gas-fitting and central-heating installation teams. Experience of replacing boilers and full systems in occupied properties would be relevant, as would the ability to manage defects-liability maintenance and coordinate effectively with the Council’s annual servicing arrangements. The evaluation also shows that bidders needed a strong delivery model, cost control, zero-defect performance and a clear approach to Fair Work First and community benefits. The buyer’s use of an open procedure and electronic bidding indicates that suppliers, including SMEs, competed for the requirement.
