Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council is seeking one contractor to inspect, service, maintain and repair heating and hot water systems across all domestic properties it manages. This is a fully inclusive property safety and compliance service: the contractor must keep systems operating, carry out statutory and regulatory checks, maintain certification and audit trails, and provide operational support for remedial repairs and empty-property management when required. Delivery must follow the Council’s resident access and safety procedures and support tenant safety and housing asset management. The work is in Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire. It combines building installation works with building-services maintenance and gas-related services.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-contract procurement, and the tender was issued under the Procurement Act 2023. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00; bids were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The Council expected to decide the award by 7 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with a possible one-year extension subject to satisfactory performance and the Council’s requirements; an extension is not guaranteed. The stated contract value is £7.4 million excluding VAT, and the Council may reject bids over budget. Evaluation is weighted 60% for quality, including social value, and 40% for price.

This opportunity suits property safety and compliance contractors with proven experience managing domestic heating and hot-water systems across a council housing portfolio. The selected supplier must be able to provide the full service, including inspections, servicing, maintenance and repairs, while keeping systems operational and meeting applicable legislation, industry standards, approved codes of practice and manufacturers’ requirements. Strong quality assurance, safety management, asset-longevity planning and evidence-based compliance are central to delivery. Suppliers will need reliable systems for accurate reporting, digital records, certification, audit trails and performance management, as well as the capacity to work collaboratively with the Council and respond to remedial repairs and void-management needs. A resident-focused approach and the ability to follow access and safety procedures are important. The Council identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
