Summary of the contracting process

Waythrough bought an upgrade to its existing hot water supply system. The requirement covered new hot water storage tanks and a new connection to the mains water supply, combining the supply of heating and plumbing equipment with associated installation services. The main category was goods, with related services. The equipment and work were intended for delivery across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Waythrough is the public-sector buyer, based in Durham. The requirement is relevant to businesses that supply hot-water boilers, storage tanks or related plumbing equipment and can carry out connection and installation work for public-sector premises across multiple English regions.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. Clear Blue Gas Limited, an SME, was awarded the contract for £40,800 gross. The contract was signed on 20 April 2026 and runs from 26 May 2026 to 26 June 2026. The award covers the supply of hot-water equipment and associated services for the system upgrade. Evaluation was conducted through the limited-competition route; the published information does not set out separate scoring criteria. The contract is active. This outcome identifies the buyer’s selected supplier, the route used for a smaller-value requirement and the scale and short delivery period of the work.

This award is useful market evidence for heating, plumbing and mechanical-services businesses tracking Waythrough’s requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to source and supply hot-water storage tanks or boilers, understand building hot-water systems, and complete a new mains-water connection safely and competently. The work also calls for practical installation and coordination capability rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers able to deliver consistently across England would be better placed than firms limited to one local area. Clear Blue Gas Limited’s SME status shows that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business, making it relevant to SMEs with suitable heating, plumbing and installation capacity.
