Summary of the contracting process

Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association Ltd procured the replacement of the heating system serving the main boiler room at its Friary Court development in Inverkeithing. The requirement covers decommissioning and removing the existing low-temperature hot-water system, then installing and commissioning a new system. The technical scope includes associated boiler-room equipment such as pumps, a low-loss header, expansion vessel, pressurisation unit, dosing pot and plate heat exchanger. This is specialist mechanical and electrical building-services work, although the procurement is categorised as goods and uses the CPV classification for steam, hot-water and similar boilers (44621200). The work is for one Hanover housing development, with the housing association acting as both buyer and central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One lot covered the full boiler replacement requirement, with suitably qualified and experienced mechanical and electrical contractors invited to tender. Bids had to be submitted in English, variants were not allowed and the tender deadline and bid opening were both 21 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Bids were required to remain valid for 90 days. A Tech Heating Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract is active and valued at £126,256.65 including the stated currency of GBP. The lot provides for a 180-day contract period. Eleven bids were received, including ten from SMEs.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for commercial boiler-room replacement in social housing, combining system removal, new low-temperature hot-water installation and commissioning. Suppliers best placed for comparable future work will be mechanical and electrical building-services contractors with demonstrable experience delivering complete heating-system replacements in occupied or operational housing environments. Relevant capability includes boiler and hydraulic-system design, installation of pumps and associated pressurisation, expansion, dosing, heat-exchange and header equipment, together with safe decommissioning, testing and commissioning. A credible competitor would need suitably qualified technical staff, reliable installation capacity and the ability to coordinate multiple specialist components as one functioning system. The ten SME bids also indicate that this scale of work is accessible to established smaller contractors with the right competence and delivery record.
