Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Southwark intends to procure works to replace the sections of underground distribution heating mains at the Wyndham Estate that were not renewed during Phase One. The purpose is to bring the complete network up to a modern standard and minimise service disruptions. This is a heating infrastructure and utility works contract, classified under CPV 45232141 (heating works). Delivery is in London. The procurement is being managed for the council by NHMF (NPC) Limited, acting as procurement agent. The requirement concerns the physical replacement and improvement of underground mains rather than routine heating operation or maintenance. Suppliers with relevant experience in district or communal heating networks, underground distribution systems and associated civil engineering works should consider whether this planned requirement matches their capabilities.

This is a planned procurement at the intention stage, not an invitation to tender. The council expects to use a selective procedure through the NHMF Frameworx heating services framework, described as a pre-Procurement Act commercial tool. The requirement is planned as one lot and has an estimated value of £4,500,000 excluding VAT, or £5,400,000 including VAT. The indicative contract period is 31 March 2027 to 30 March 2028. The lot is currently planned, and the eventual procurement activity will take place through the framework. The published information sets out the intended works, route to market, value and timing, but does not itself invite suppliers to submit responses. Businesses should use this stage to assess framework access and prepare for the later procurement activity.

This planned requirement is likely to suit established heating infrastructure contractors and specialist mechanical, utility or civil engineering firms able to replace underground distribution mains in a live estate environment. Relevant capability may include district or communal heating networks, excavation and reinstatement, pipework installation, isolation and connection of existing systems, testing and commissioning, and planning work to minimise disruption to residents. The scale points to a contractor with sufficient operational capacity, project management, site supervision, health and safety controls and supply-chain resilience for a substantial estate-wide works package. The work is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selective framework route means suppliers should prepare by checking whether they are already eligible to use the relevant NHMF Frameworx heating services framework or can participate through an appropriate framework arrangement.
