Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes Limited, a public authority based in Northampton, has completed a contracting process for the commercial heating servicing and maintenance within their portfolio. The procurement, originally intended to start a new contract by 1st April 2026, used a direct award method due to the urgency of maintaining gas safety regulations despite delays caused by incomplete asset information surveys. The contract, worth £300,000 gross, was directly awarded to David Whiting Solutions Limited, with the service period running from 28th May 2026 to 30th April 2027, allowing for onboarding during the spring and summer months in the region of UKF24 in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in commercial heating repair and maintenance services. It is particularly suitable for SMEs like David Whiting Solutions Limited, which are capable of providing services in compliance with regulatory frameworks. The project's scope to conduct boiler room maintenance and services aligns well with companies possessing expertise in gas safety and large-scale maintenance operations. Businesses looking to expand in the UKF24 region can leverage such contracts to strengthen their regional presence and credentials.

Notice Title

Commercial Heating Service & Maintenance

Notice Description

Commercial Heating, boiler room servicing and maintenance.

Procurement Information

The process to prepare a tender to publish and be completed was started in October 2025. This would have allowed the necessary timeframe for a new contract to be awarded for 01/04/2026, when the existing contract for servicing and maintenance ended. However, due to a lack of asset information regarding the equipment in the boiler rooms, the start date of the tender has been delayed and we will now not have a new contract in place by this date. We must ensure that our commercial boiler rooms are serviced and maintained in line with gas safety regulations and therefore cannot be without a supplier while the tender information is finalised and a tender process completed. The delay is to allow surveys to be completed to ensure we go to market with accurate information to allow for concise bids and pricing. Once all information is available we will publish a tender with the aim to award a contract by December 2026, with a start date of 1st April 2027 to allow for mobilisation of any potential new supplier. This interim contract is for 12 months and is this duration to allow any new supplier to onboard and start their programme during the Spring/Summer months.
