Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured replacement pumps for its district heating infrastructure. The pumps are essential to keeping the system operating and performing effectively. This is a supply contract for pumps, rather than installation or wider works, and the requirement was for delivery to Council premises. The recorded delivery locations cover the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. The purchase is therefore relevant to pump manufacturers and suppliers able to provide replacement equipment for public-sector district heating systems and arrange delivery across these areas. The buyer is Nottingham City Council, the local authority responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Nottingham City Council awarded the contract to Flowserve GB Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is for one lot covering the supply of pumps. The contract was signed on 22 May 2026 and runs from 23 May 2026 to 22 May 2028. Its value is £249,767.64 excluding VAT, or £299,721.17 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is recorded as active. The stated purpose is replacement pumps for the Council’s district heating infrastructure; the published procurement data does not set out a separate scored evaluation basis for this direct award.

This award demonstrates demand from Nottingham City Council for replacement pumps that support the operation of its district heating infrastructure. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to supply pumps suitable for district heating use, meet the system’s operational and performance needs, and deliver to Council premises across the recorded English regions. The selected supplier was Flowserve GB Limited, identified as an SME in the procurement data, showing that a business of this scale secured the award. Pump manufacturers and specialist distributors with relevant product capability, reliable fulfilment and experience serving public-sector heating infrastructure are the closest fit. The requirement was a supply purchase only, so suppliers focused on pump equipment and delivery are more directly relevant than firms whose offer is limited to installation or broader construction work.
