UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council commissioned servicing and statutory inspection of pressurisation units and pressure or expansion vessels in Rutland. The requirement covers comprehensive servicing of the scheduled units and vessels in line with manufacturers’ instructions, statutory instruments and relevant guidance. It also includes comprehensive service and maintenance inspections of associated equipment where appropriate for the systems scheduled. This is a building-services maintenance requirement covering mechanical and electrical installations, including repair and maintenance work. The public-sector buyer is Rutland County Council, based in Oakham. The awarded supplier, Flow Mech Products Limited, is a Leicester-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of equipment maintenance.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Flow Mech Products Limited through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its value is £24,480 excluding VAT and £29,376 including VAT. The award is for services and is currently recorded as active. The evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct appointment rather than a competitive tender, so no scored price or quality criteria are set out. The arrangement covers the servicing, statutory inspection and associated maintenance of the scheduled pressurisation units, pressure vessels, expansion vessels and related equipment for Rutland County Council.

This award indicates a recurring need for specialist building-services maintenance in Rutland, centred on pressurisation units and pressure or expansion vessels. A credible future competitor would need technicians able to service and inspect these systems comprehensively, assess associated equipment, and work to manufacturers’ instructions, statutory instruments and applicable technical guidance. Relevant experience should include mechanical and electrical building-installation maintenance, planned servicing and statutory inspection of pressure-related plant, and the ability to manage scheduled assets consistently over a long-running council contract. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate dependable coverage in Rutland, suitable operational capacity, accurate maintenance records and compliance-focused working practices. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor.
