Summary of the contracting process

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust intends to procure annual major scheduled servicing of gas boilers. This is a boiler maintenance service for the Trust’s estate, rather than a supply of new boilers or installation works. The procurement is categorised as services and covers one lot. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is the buyer. The information identifies Maidstone, Kent as the Trust’s address, but does not identify the service delivery sites, so suppliers should not assume the work is confined to Maidstone. The specification is expected to be published alongside the later tender, after the expression-of-interest stage.

The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish a further notice on 1 December 2026. An engagement milestone is scheduled for 16 November 2026; the planning information says the specification will be published with the tender after expressions of interest close. The procurement is arranged as one lot, with a planned contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. No procedure or procurement method has been set out at this stage. No estimated contract value, budget, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are included in the published plans.

This planned requirement is most relevant to contractors whose core business is scheduled gas boiler servicing and maintenance, particularly those able to carry out major annual services across the Trust’s estate. Specialist boiler maintenance experience and the operational capacity to deliver recurring work over a multi-year contract are likely to be relevant; the precise equipment, locations, service standards and any accreditation requirements will depend on the specification due to accompany the tender. Suppliers interested in shaping or understanding the requirement should consider the planned market-engagement stage and the subsequent publication of the specification. The stated scope is servicing, so firms focused solely on boiler manufacture or new-build installation may find it less relevant unless they also provide maintenance services. The planned single-lot structure points to one combined service requirement.
