UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plus Dane Housing Ltd. commissioned heating-system design services for Arclid Court in Congleton. The requirement is for a designer to assess whether a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system is viable and to confirm the likely installation cost. The work concerns technical design and feasibility advice rather than the installation of the GSHP system itself. It is therefore relevant to organisations with experience in low-carbon heating, ground-source heat pump systems, building services design and feasibility assessment. The service is associated with a housing property managed or used by Plus Dane Housing, with delivery in the Congleton area. The procurement is classified as heating-system design services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Plus Dane Housing Ltd. used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Kensa Contracting Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 December 2026, and has a gross value of £35,000. The award covers one lot and is recorded as active, while the tender itself is complete. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct procurement route, so no competing tender process or published comparative evaluation basis applies. The contract is for design and feasibility work to establish whether a GSHP installation can proceed and what it is likely to cost at Arclid Court.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist low-carbon heating advice within Plus Dane Housing’s property portfolio. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable technical capability in ground-source heat pump design, including assessing site and system viability, identifying installation constraints and producing reliable cost information. Experience of working with housing providers, occupied or managed residential buildings and public-sector requirements would strengthen its position. Suppliers should be able to turn feasibility findings into clear, practical design recommendations that support an investment decision, rather than offering installation alone. The successful supplier was a large specialist contracting business, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider able to combine heating-system expertise with sufficient organisational capacity to deliver a focused professional service.
