This exercise aims to engage suppliers in the provision of boiler and gas central heating works within Reading. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 5th March 2020. The works fall under the industry category of central heating installation, with relevant procurement methods being an open procedure below threshold. The contract is anticipated to start on 1st June 2020 and will run until 31st May 2023. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heating works, specifically those involved in boiler installations and maintenance services. Companies that manufacture or supply boiler parts, as well as those offering comprehensive installation and repair services, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance business growth, especially for contractors aiming to establish long-term partnerships with the council, thus guaranteeing steady work within the local authority's heating requirements. ## Notice This document provides high level information regarding the potential procurement of a framework contract, including 2 suppliers, for the provision of Boiler and Gas Central Heating works within the Reading Borough Council. This is an initial early market engagement exercise by way of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) expected to result in interested parties submitting a priced schedule on the basis of the attached documents.
