Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council contracted for twice-yearly inspection and servicing of oil-fired boiler systems in 42 council buildings, including boilers, pumps, pipelines and storage tanks. The work also covers emergency breakdown response and repairs to reduce system downtime and maintain the buildings’ hot water facilities. This is boiler maintenance and repair services (CPV 50531100), for council properties in the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area, Northern Ireland. The Council is the buyer and the service is intended to support the reliable operation of oil-fired central heating systems across its building estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ATS Gas Services Limited. The Council used an open, below-threshold competition. The tender deadline was 27 May 2026, with questions accepted until 20 May 2026. The award criteria weighted cost at 70% and project-specific questions at 30%. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2029. Its value is £108,000 excluding VAT (£129,600 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot, with the contract covering the full requirement across the Council’s properties.

This award shows demand for a contractor able to maintain oil-fired heating systems across a sizeable council property estate, providing scheduled servicing as well as responsive emergency breakdown cover and repairs. Credible competitors will need appropriate OFTEC registration, and the technical capacity to inspect and service complete boiler systems, including pumps, pipework and storage tanks. They will also need to organise repeat visits across multiple buildings and respond to breakdowns in a way that limits downtime. The buyer’s evaluation placed greater weight on price than on project-specific answers, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a cost-effective service plan alongside a clear, relevant delivery approach. The Council considers the requirement suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
