Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council planned central heating replacement and upgrade works in its tenanted homes across the Perth & Kinross Council area. The work covered like-for-like replacement of gas boilers and radiators; installation of complete gas heating systems, including radiators and pipework; and replacement of electric storage and panel heaters, electric wet boilers and solid-fuel heating with air-source heat pumps. The procurement was for domestic heating works (CPV 45331100), with the detailed scope intended to be set out in the employer’s requirements. The Council sought contractors able to deliver a range of heating technologies in occupied properties.

The procurement was discontinued and no supplier was awarded the contract. The Council had planned an open procedure to appoint two contractors, with bids assessed on quality (60%) and price (40%). The estimated contract value was £4.7 million. The planned contract period was 720 days, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. The tender deadline was 1 September 2026, and the award notice records the procurement as unsuccessful. The Council’s selection requirements included financial information for the previous two years and professional indemnity, employers’ liability and public liability insurance. Bidders also had to provide a comparable heating contract example and demonstrate the specified technical experience, qualifications and quality and environmental standards.

For suppliers monitoring future domestic heating work from Perth & Kinross Council, this procurement indicates demand for contractors able to replace and install multiple heating systems in occupied homes, particularly gas boilers and systems, electric storage heating and air-source heat pumps. A credible supplier would need evidence of comparable work delivered continuously at a rate of at least five properties per working week for one to two years. Required capability included relevant trade and safety qualifications, including Gas Safe, MCS, NICEIC or SELECT, and specified construction and plumbing credentials. The Council also sought ISO 9001 quality assurance and ISO 14001 or EMAS environmental certification, or the stated alternatives. Financial resilience and the required insurance cover were also part of the qualification requirements.
