## Summary

Salix Homes Limited procured design consultancy and delivery services for upgrades to communal heating systems in high-rise housing. The work covers the design and delivery of upgraded communal heating infrastructure, rather than general building or heating maintenance. Delivery is in the North West of England. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is relevant to firms that design communal or district heating systems, support decarbonisation or energy-efficiency upgrades, and can coordinate design with physical delivery in occupied or multi-storey residential settings. It is a buyer-specific housing infrastructure requirement led by Salix Homes Limited.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Switch2 Energy Limited on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £159,408, with a contract period from 7 August 2026 to 6 August 2027. The original estimated value range was £160,000 to £192,000. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Procure Public framework. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and covers the same high-rise communal heating systems design and upgrade requirement. This is an awarded framework call-off, rather than a procurement still being decided.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Salix Homes’ demand for specialist communal heating upgrade design and delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical capability to assess and design heating systems serving high-rise residential buildings, translate that design into an upgrade programme, and manage delivery through to completion. Experience coordinating consultants, installers, housing providers and residents would strengthen a proposition, particularly where works affect occupied homes. The buyer considered the opportunity suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist firms with focused heating-system expertise can compete through the relevant framework route rather than only large multidisciplinary contractors.
