## Summary

Torus Group procured servicing and maintenance for a ground heat pump. The requirement is a building-heating maintenance service, covering the ongoing care and upkeep of the heat-pump system. Delivery is in the North West of England. This is a facilities-maintenance requirement rather than a supply of heating equipment or a construction project, so it is relevant to firms that service and maintain ground-source heat pump installations. The procurement was managed by Torus Group, based in St Helens.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to RICHARD IRVIN FM LIMITED. The award date was 24 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £160,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 10 September 2028. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026. The procurement was for services and the published information does not identify a specific procedure or evaluation basis. It was presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. Torus Group’s suitability information marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that Torus Group has bought specialist maintenance for a ground heat pump at a scale suited to an established facilities-management supplier; the successful company is identified as large. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need demonstrated capability in maintaining ground-source heat-pump systems, along with the operational capacity to provide service across the North West. Relevant experience in heating-system maintenance and the ability to manage ongoing service work would be central to competing. The published procurement does not set out named accreditations, technical thresholds or detailed staffing requirements, so the clearest evidence of supplier fit is the specialist equipment and maintenance scope, supported by delivery capability appropriate to an established buyer.
