Summary of the contracting process

Gov Facility Services Ltd procured the hire of boilers for use in Suffolk. The requirement is a goods procurement focused on supplying temporary or replacement boiler equipment for facilities managed by the buyer. The recorded supplier, Industrial Boiler Services Ltd, is a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Bury St Edmunds, giving the requirement a clear local supply connection. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are boiler hire companies, heating equipment suppliers and firms able to provide, install or support hired boiler plant for public-sector facilities. The procurement covers boiler equipment rather than a broad estates-maintenance service, although the awarded arrangement also refers to additional services. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for government facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Industrial Boiler Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The recorded award value is £28,308 excluding VAT and £33,969.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. The award was recorded on 4 September 2026, with signature scheduled for the same date. The arrangement includes an option for additional services. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open tender, so there is no published competitive scoring basis for comparing bids. The award is recorded as pending, while the overall tender status is complete.

This award shows that Gov Facility Services Ltd buys hired boiler capacity for its government-facility estate and uses a direct below-threshold route for this scale of requirement. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to suitable boiler plant, the ability to mobilise equipment for facilities in Suffolk, and the operational capability to keep hired systems available and supported throughout the service period. Relevant strengths would include boiler hire experience, safe transport and installation, commissioning, maintenance, emergency response and removal at the end of hire. Suppliers should also be able to provide any associated services required with the equipment and demonstrate reliable delivery to a public-sector facilities operator. The selected SME indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
