Summary of the contracting process

Key Housing Association procured gas servicing and reactive repair services for its housing stock, with possible ad-hoc boiler replacements, full heating-system renewals and related heating-system works. The requirement was divided into two service areas: approximately 576 dwellings in Southern and Central Scotland, and approximately 65 dwellings in the Highlands of Scotland. Work is delivered to properties listed by the association, with scope potentially extending across a wider geographical area. This is a services contract for organisations experienced in domestic gas maintenance, reactive repairs, boiler changes and heating-system renewal. The buyer is Key Housing Association, based in Glasgow, acting as a central purchasing body for the associated housing organisations.

The procurement used an open procedure and is complete. It was divided into two lots, and suppliers could bid for either or both. Lot 1, Southern and Central Scotland, was awarded to James Frew Ltd for £598,423.70; Lot 2, Highlands of Scotland, was awarded to Richard Irvin FM Limited for £438,091. Both contracts were signed on 23 August 2023, and both awards began on 3 July 2023. Each contract has a three-year period, with the buyer holding discretion to extend it through multiple single-year extensions. Quality counted for 60% of the evaluation and cost of service for 40%. Two bids were received for each lot. Electronic payment and ordering apply, electronic invoicing is allowed, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This award shows established demand from Key Housing Association for geographically separated domestic gas maintenance and repair provision, including responsive work and larger heating-system interventions. A credible future competitor would need to resource either or both Scottish service areas, manage work across housing properties, and demonstrate qualified gas-service delivery at the relevant housing-stock scale. The buyer required staff names and qualifications, and restricted performance to an appropriately qualified profession. Essential credentials included Gas Safe membership and accreditation with NICEIC, SELECT, Part P or equivalent organisations. Suppliers would also need experience in boiler replacement, full system renewal, reactive repairs and associated heating works, supported by effective performance management against contractual KPIs.
