Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured works to replace boilers and domestic hot-water systems at Fallings Park Fire Station and Walsall Fire Station. The requirement covered two separate site packages: boiler and domestic hot-water replacement at Fallings Park, and the same works at Walsall. This is a mechanical and building-services works opportunity, involving heating and water-plumbing installation. Delivery is at fire stations in the West Midlands, with the buyer based in Birmingham. The work is relevant to heating, plumbing, mechanical-services and building-services contractors able to undertake replacement works in operational public-sector premises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Midland Counties Heating Services Limited, an SME. The award covers both lots and has a gross value of £308,743. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. It followed a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions allowed. The original tender deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. Each lot was estimated separately: £130,000 for Fallings Park and £120,000 for Walsall. Evaluation was based on price at 70%, the technical questionnaire at 25% and social value at 5%. Eleven bids were received for each lot. A contract signature was scheduled for 27 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority for specialist boiler, heating and domestic-hot-water replacement across fire-station premises. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering mechanical and plumbing works safely in operational public buildings, with the resources to complete multiple site packages. The buyer considered the opportunity suitable for SMEs, and the successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be accessible to focused regional contractors as well as larger firms. Suppliers would need sound financial health, audited accounts for the previous two years, income exceeding expenditure, a current ratio above one and at least a moderate Creditsafe risk rating. Technical delivery and social value also affected the outcome.
