Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured the supply and installation of new gas boilers at Eastbourne Sports Complex. The requirement covers all labour, plant and materials needed to complete the installation in accordance with the project drawings and specification. This is a boiler supply and installation package, classified under CPV 44621200 (boilers), rather than a general building-services contract. The named buyer is Darlington Borough Council, a local authority. The selected supplier, Twin Services Ltd, is based in Stockton-on-Tees. The requirement is associated with the Eastbourne Sports Complex, so businesses with experience delivering commercial heating replacement work in operational sports or public facilities would find the scope most relevant. The procurement was treated as a goods requirement, although delivery involves installation work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a limited procedure through a further competition on a dynamic purchasing system, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Six bids were recorded. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. Twin Services Ltd was awarded the contract for the boiler replacement package at £102,481. The award date was 29 July 2026, and the contract is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The tender record shows the associated lot as cancelled, while the award and contract for that requirement are active; the award outcome therefore identifies Twin Services Ltd as the selected supplier. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for commercial gas boiler replacement, including the coordinated provision of labour, plant, materials and installation to an approved design and specification. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in gas boiler installation and replacement, together with the workforce, equipment and supply-chain capacity to deliver a complete package rather than supply equipment alone. Experience of working in public buildings or operational sports facilities would help demonstrate an understanding of site coordination, safety and continuity requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller contractor. Businesses seeking similar work with this council should be able to compete through a dynamic purchasing system and demonstrate reliable delivery against price-led evaluation.
