UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council is procuring works to replace heating and domestic hot-water plant at units 16a, Oakham Enterprise Park, Oakham. The requirement covers corrective replacement of deficient operational space-heating and domestic hot-water systems, including associated heating-plant construction, repair and maintenance, and plant-upgrade work. The systems serve several independent commercial businesses and provide in-house services for vulnerable people, so the purpose is to maintain continuity of these provisions through the forthcoming heating season. This is a building-services and mechanical-engineering opportunity for contractors able to assess existing plant, plan an efficient replacement solution and carry out the installation works in accordance with the council’s scoping requirements and prescribed delivery timetable.

The process reached tender: Rutland County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is divided into one lot, with a contract period from 14 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 28 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Award will be based on price and quality, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. The procurement is for works rather than goods or standalone services, with delivery at Oakham Enterprise Park.

This opportunity suits heating, mechanical-services and building-services contractors with practical experience of replacing commercial heating and domestic hot-water plant. Relevant firms are likely to have the technical capability to survey deficient systems, develop a compliant replacement approach, remove or adapt existing equipment, install upgraded plant and complete testing and commissioning. The work also requires effective coordination in an operational environment serving independent businesses and vulnerable-person provision, so suppliers should be able to manage disruption, maintain safe working practices and deliver reliably within a defined programme. Contractors with experience of heating-plant construction, repair, maintenance and upgrades will be well placed to respond. The requirement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially accessible to established regional specialists as well as larger providers.
