Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council planned to appoint two contractors for central heating replacement work in its tenanted homes across the Perth and Kinross Council area. The work covers like-for-like replacement of gas boilers and radiators, installation of complete gas heating systems including radiators and pipework, and replacement of electric storage and panel heating. It also includes replacing existing storage heating, electric wet boilers and solid-fuel heating with air-source heat pumps. This is domestic heating installation and upgrade work, rather than a supply-only purchase; the range of systems makes experience across gas, electric and heat-pump technologies relevant.

The procurement was cancelled, and the award outcome was recorded as unsuccessful/discontinued; no supplier was selected. The Council used an open procedure. The planned contract was for 720 days, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. Its estimated value was £4.7 million. Evaluation was weighted 60% quality and 40% price. Suppliers had to evidence financial standing, including current ratios and positive net assets over the previous two financial years, and hold or commit to obtaining professional indemnity insurance of £2 million, employers’ liability cover of £10 million and public liability cover of £5 million. Technical requirements included a comparable contract example delivered in occupied homes and specified heating qualifications and certifications.

This procurement indicates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for a substantial, multi-technology programme of heating replacements in occupied domestic properties. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate sustained delivery at a comparable scale and complexity, including gas boiler replacement, storage-heater replacement and first-time air-source heat-pump installations. The specified benchmark was at least five properties per working week over one to two years. Relevant workforce credentials included Gas Safe, MCS, NICEIC or SELECT, and the listed construction and heating industry schemes, or evidence of appropriate staff qualifications. Quality and environmental credentials included independently accredited ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, or equivalent routes described in the tender instructions. The financial tests and insurance cover also indicate the need for sound working capital and capacity to carry the risks of a large domestic works programme.
