UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund procured responsive gas, plumbing and heating maintenance services, including ad-hoc repairs and central-heating boiler replacements. The requirement supports its existing day-to-day repairs provision when the organisation’s own direct labour operation does not have enough capacity or demand temporarily increases. Work covers properties in North East England. The buyer is based in Darlington and is a sub-central public authority. The scope is service and maintenance work rather than a major construction project: suppliers need to respond to individual repair requirements and replace boilers where required. This is relevant to heating, plumbing, gas servicing and building-maintenance businesses able to provide reactive repairs and boiler replacement services for housing stock.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Boutgas Heating Services Limited, an SME. Railway Housing Association used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The gross awarded contract value is £200,000. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible maximum end date of 30 June 2027. It includes one three-month extension, to be used if delays affect the post-review arrangements. The evaluation outcome reflects a single completed lot covering ad-hoc gas, plumbing and heating repairs and boiler replacements. The award concerns central-heating boiler supply or replacement and central-heating repair and maintenance services.

This contract provides evidence of recurring responsive-repairs demand from a housing association that normally delivers gas, plumbing and heating work through its own direct labour operation. A future competitor would need to supplement that in-house capacity during peaks in demand or when the organisation’s resources are insufficient, rather than provide only planned maintenance. Relevant suppliers are heating and plumbing businesses with practical experience of reactive housing repairs, central-heating fault diagnosis, boiler replacement and associated gas work. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can suit a smaller specialist contractor with the operational capacity to handle ad-hoc instructions across North East England and maintain reliable response arrangements.
