Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring annual servicing of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) units installed in new-build and existing housing stock across Fife.

The buying organisation is Fife Council, acting as a central purchasing body. The work will be delivered throughout Fife, including council housing locations. The procurement is classified under CPV 71315410, relating to building services inspection and maintenance. It is suited to contractors able to service MVHR equipment across a housing portfolio and manage visits across multiple properties.

It allows additional purchases in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. One lot covers servicing of MVHR units.
