Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council procured heating installation and upgrade works for residential properties it owns and manages. The work covers heating-system upgrades and installations in Reading Borough Council’s area. This is building-services construction work, specifically heating installations, rather than a supply-only purchase. The requirement was delivered through the Council’s existing Westworks Building Materials and Compliance dynamic purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. T.S.G. Building Services PLC was awarded the contract, which was signed on 10 September 2026 for £4.5 million. The Council ran a limited mini-competition through the existing dynamic purchasing system, without a separately published call for competition. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Six bids were recorded, including four from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Reading Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for heating upgrades and installation across Council-owned and managed homes, delivered through the Westworks dynamic purchasing system. Credible competitors will need to undertake residential heating installation and upgrade work at substantial scale, and to present a strong quality case as well as competitive pricing: quality carried more weight than price in this competition. Small and medium-sized suppliers participated, showing that the requirement attracted bids from businesses of that size. The published information does not establish specific accreditations, technical standards or capacity requirements, so these should not be assumed from the award.
