Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council procured planned preventative and reactive maintenance for mechanical, electrical and water systems across the property estate it owns or manages. The requirement covers servicing and maintaining mechanical engineering installations, electrical and mechanical building systems, and water-hygiene systems. The appointed contractor is expected to keep assets safe, efficient and compliant with statutory duties and manufacturers’ recommendations through a comprehensive maintenance programme. Work is delivered across the council’s estate in Hampshire. This is a public-sector building-services maintenance requirement rather than a construction project: relevant businesses include mechanical and electrical maintenance contractors, water-hygiene specialists, and facilities-management providers able to coordinate planned servicing with reactive repairs. The procurement’s classification is repair and maintenance services for electrical and mechanical building installations (CPV 50710000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Six bids were received for the single lot. Anchor Pipework Limited was selected on 4 August 2026, with an awarded value of £676,500 excluding VAT (£811,800 including VAT). The contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend for up to a further three years, to 30 September 2032, subject to performance and budget availability. Evaluation gave cost 70% and quality 30%. Quality covered mobilisation, availability and service continuity; contract management, service delivery and methodology; experience, capability and past performance; and innovation, technology, social value and sustainability. Economic and technical selection requirements were set out in the tender documents.

This award identifies a recurring requirement for a contractor capable of managing a mixed mechanical, electrical and water-hygiene maintenance service across a borough council property estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate reliable planned preventative maintenance alongside responsive repairs, with sufficient engineering coverage and operational capacity to maintain multiple asset types and sustain service continuity. Evidence of contract management, delivery methodology, relevant experience, capability and past performance would be central to competing. The evaluation also shows that bidders would need a clear approach to innovation and technology, social value and sustainability, while meeting statutory obligations and manufacturers’ recommendations. The requirement suits established building-services, mechanical and electrical maintenance, water-hygiene, or integrated facilities-management providers able to deliver safe, compliant services at council-estate scale.
