UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council procured solid-fuel servicing and chimney-sweeping services for 47 properties that it owns or manages across Chesterfield. The requirement covers the maintenance and cleaning of solid-fuel appliances and chimneys, supporting safe and continued use of these properties. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 90915000 for furnace and chimney-cleaning services. The buyer is the council, and the work is associated with its housing or property portfolio in Chesterfield. This is a focused operational requirement for a contractor able to service solid-fuel systems and carry out chimney sweeping across multiple council-managed properties, rather than a general building-maintenance contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Actfast Plumbing and Solid Fuel Services, an SME. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028. Its value is £36,572 excluding VAT, or £43,886.40 including VAT. The council has two options to extend the contract by a further 12 months each, subject to formal review, giving a maximum possible end date of 6 September 2030. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the route demonstrates the buyer's use of a smaller competitive process for this below-threshold requirement.

This requirement is commercially relevant to contractors specialising in solid-fuel appliance servicing, chimney sweeping and associated safety-focused maintenance. A credible competitor would need practical experience of inspecting, servicing and cleaning solid-fuel systems in occupied or managed residential properties, with the organisation and capacity to cover 47 locations for a public-sector client. The award to an SME shows that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national facilities-management provider. Suppliers should be able to plan recurring visits, maintain clear service records, respond consistently across a property portfolio and work to the council's operational requirements. Experience of similar housing, landlord or property-management contracts would help demonstrate readiness when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
