Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited commissioned works to install a ground-source heat pump at Ridgefoot in Yorkshire. The requirement is a building-services installation project involving heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work, with the stated purpose of providing ground-source heat-pump infrastructure at the site. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Halifax and operates in social housing. The awarded work is associated with a single requirement and covers delivery in Yorkshire. The classification is works, rather than a supply-only or advisory service opportunity. Businesses relevant to this requirement include heating and mechanical-services contractors able to undertake ground-source heat-pump installations and associated building-services works for a housing association. The selected supplier, Rothwell Plumbing Services Limited, is based in Wigan and is recorded as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive selective process under a framework agreement. One lot was completed and awarded to Rothwell Plumbing Services Limited on 10 September 2026. The award is £721,184 excluding VAT and £865,470 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with a scheduled signature date of 30 September 2026. The procurement used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, so competition was conducted among eligible framework suppliers. The award is active and relates to the full ground-source heat-pump installation requirement. The award record identifies heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work as the relevant classification.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is a clear indication that Together Housing Association Limited purchases substantial decarbonisation and building-services installation works through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical ground-source heat-pump installation capability, alongside broader heating, ventilation and air-conditioning delivery skills. The work is suitable for a specialist mechanical-services contractor with enough operational capacity to manage a sizeable single-site installation for a social-housing buyer. Rothwell Plumbing Services Limited’s recorded SME status shows that the selected provider was not necessarily a large national business, which may be relevant to similarly sized firms. Businesses should also assess whether they hold, or can access, an appropriate framework route for competing when comparable works are procured.
