UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council intends to procure heat management repair, servicing and maintenance services for high-rise and low-rise blocks of flats and sheltered housing schemes. The work will cover communal gas boiler servicing, legionella testing, dry riser testing, and servicing, maintenance and reactive repairs for ground-source and air-source heat pumps. It is a building-services maintenance requirement, including boiler and gas appliance maintenance, with delivery across Bristol City Council’s area. The requirement is classified as services and is intended to support the safe, reliable operation of heating and associated systems in council-owned residential accommodation. Suppliers specialising in planned and responsive housing maintenance, mechanical and heating services, or compliance testing may find the scope relevant when the procurement reaches the tender stage.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Bristol City Council has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. The council expects the requirement to be above the applicable threshold and has divided it into one lot. The anticipated contract period is from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2031. Further market engagement is planned as part of the tender process, with an engagement milestone due by 31 August 2026. The published information does not set out a procedure, procurement method, estimated value, award criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. Suppliers should therefore treat the scope and timing as the council’s current plans rather than as a bid deadline or invitation to respond.

The requirement should suit contractors able to combine planned servicing, statutory or safety-related testing and reactive repairs across a sizeable residential property portfolio. Relevant experience is likely to include communal gas boilers, gas appliances, dry risers, legionella control testing, and ground-source and air-source heat pump systems. Businesses with established field-service teams, responsive repair arrangements and the capacity to work across high-rise, low-rise and sheltered housing settings may be well placed when the tender is released. Mechanical and building-services maintenance providers could also consider whether their existing delivery model covers both routine programmes and urgent faults. The planned market engagement gives relevant suppliers an opportunity to understand the council’s developing requirements and prepare for the future competition.
