Summary of the contracting process

Gov Facility Services Ltd procured boiler hire as a goods requirement for use in Oxfordshire. The scope is identified as boilers, with the procurement intended to provide hired boiler equipment rather than a broader facilities-management service. The buyer is a public-sector facilities services organisation based in London. The requirement concerns the supply of boiler equipment to the stated delivery area, so relevant businesses are those that hire, supply and support boilers for public-sector or institutional users. The opportunity is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Its focus is on providing the equipment needed by the buyer at facilities in Oxfordshire, with the successful supplier responsible for meeting that boiler-hire requirement over the agreed service period.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received and three reached the final stage; one final-stage bid came from an SME. The contract was awarded to RAPID ENERGY LTD on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £83,815.20 excluding VAT, or £100,578.24 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The award is active, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The published outcome therefore records a completed competitive process with an identified supplier, agreed value and defined delivery period.

This result demonstrates an established requirement for hired boiler equipment from Gov Facility Services Ltd, serving facilities in Oxfordshire. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to provide boiler hire at institutional scale, maintain suitable equipment availability and coordinate delivery to the buyer’s facilities. Experience supplying public-sector, custodial or other complex estates would help demonstrate an understanding of reliability, site access and continuity requirements, although the procurement data does not set out specific technical certificates or qualifications. The process also shows that smaller businesses can reach the final stage: one of the three final-stage bidders was an SME. Suppliers should therefore assess whether their boiler fleet, logistics, support arrangements and evidence of dependable delivery are strong enough for this buyer’s requirement.
