Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured works to replace heating in tenanted properties across the Renfrewshire local authority area. The requirement covers replacing approximately 1,300 boilers and approximately 3,400 complete gas heating systems. The appointed sole contractor supplies and installs the equipment and provides defects-liability maintenance; the Council remains responsible for annual gas servicing. This is a building-services and domestic heating contract, including boiler replacement, gas heating installation and associated mechanical works. The Council is the buyer and contracting authority. The work is delivered throughout Renfrewshire, for properties occupied by Council tenants. The procurement is classified under CPV 45333100, installation of heating equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a single-lot open procedure to McTear Contracts Ltd. Eleven bids were received, including seven from SMEs. The tender deadline and bid opening were 20 April 2026 at 12:00, with the award period starting that day. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £18,079,000. The initial contract period is 720 days, with the Council able to extend it for up to 12 months on two separate occasions. Evaluation included price, stated as 70, and quality for works delivery, stated as 12.5. The contract is measured-term, with no guaranteed minimum work, continuity or value. Variants were not allowed, and English was the submission language.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Renfrewshire Council for domestic boiler replacement and complete gas-heating system installation across a sizeable tenanted housing stock. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both supply and installation at scale, manage work across dispersed occupied properties and provide defects-liability maintenance after installation. Relevant capability includes domestic gas heating and boiler replacement, planned programme delivery, tenant-facing coordination, quality control and responsive defect management. The requirement suits an established heating or building-services contractor able to act as a sole contractor and operate under measured-term arrangements, where workload is instructed as required rather than guaranteed. Suppliers should also be prepared to meet contractual Community Benefits and Fair Work First commitments and support electronic ordering, payment and invoicing.
