Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council procured gas safety inspection, servicing and associated repair services for gas pipework, appliances and fittings that it owns. The work supports the Council’s landlord duties and statutory safety timescales across its housing stock in Sandwell, using an MOT-style servicing cycle. The requirement covers 24,932 dwellings with a live gas supply and includes boiler repair and maintenance and technical inspection services. It was divided into two geographical service areas: Lot 1, North, and Lot 2, South. This is a housing gas compliance and maintenance service rather than a general building maintenance contract, so it is relevant to contractors able to inspect, service and repair domestic gas installations at scale.

The procurement is complete and both lots have been awarded, subject to the recorded pending award status. Renuvo Ltd was selected for Lot 1 (North) on 17 July 2026 at £3.6 million gross (£3 million excluding VAT). Phoenix Gas Services Ltd was selected for Lot 2 (South) on the same date at £4.4 million gross (£3,666,666.67 excluding VAT). The open procedure used a 70% price and 30% quality evaluation. Five valid bids were received for each lot. The standstill period ends on 28 July 2026. Lot 1 is scheduled for signature by 31 July 2026 and Lot 2 by 1 August 2026. Both contracts run from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend by one year subject to satisfactory performance.

This procurement demonstrates sustained, sizeable demand from Sandwell Council for statutory domestic gas safety work across a large social housing stock. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable competence in gas safety inspections, cyclical servicing, boiler maintenance, fault diagnosis and associated repairs, with the operational capacity to manage thousands of occupied dwellings and complete work within statutory timescales. Coverage of a defined geographic area may suit a regional contractor, while the two-lot structure also indicates that delivery can be organised by service area. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and two SMEs reached the final stage for each lot. Price discipline and service quality were both material to selection.
