Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council sought works to replace the space-heating and domestic hot-water plant at units 16a, Oakham Enterprise Park. The requirement covers heating plant construction, insulation and mechanical installation work. The systems serve several independent commercial businesses and provide in-house facilities for vulnerable people, so the purpose was to restore reliable heating and hot-water provision before the next heating season. Delivery was at Oakham Enterprise Park in Rutland. The council was buying works from a contractor able to design or determine an efficient and cost-effective replacement approach within the required timescale and in line with the project scoping requirements. The procurement concerned one combined requirement rather than separately described service packages.

The procurement reached tender: Rutland County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through ProContract. The procurement was subsequently cancelled because of functionality problems outside the council’s control with the procurement website; the council said it was moving the procurement to a new page. The enquiry deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 14 September to 6 November 2026. The estimated value was £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The sole lot was evaluated on quality at 30% and price at 70%.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises and was relevant to contractors with practical experience replacing commercial heating and domestic hot-water plant. Strong candidates would typically need capability across heating plant construction, mechanical installations and associated insulation work, with the capacity to coordinate the replacement of operational building systems serving multiple occupants. The requirement called for an efficient and cost-effective technical solution delivered within a prescribed timescale, so suppliers needed suitable project management, installation resources and the ability to work around independent commercial businesses and in-house provision for vulnerable people. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on price than quality, while quality still formed a significant part of the assessment. The procurement was cancelled, so suppliers should treat this opportunity as closed.
