## Summary

Platform Housing Group procured communal heating boiler replacement and associated heating works at Arkwright House, Huntingdon Gardens and Chelmsford Court. The works cover replacement of existing gas-fired boiler plant, flues, controls, hot water storage cylinders and heat interface units, together with pipework modifications and related mechanical, electrical and builders’ works. The detailed scope is set out through the specifications, drawings, Pre-Construction Information and pricing documents. A potential fourth scheme was included as a provisional item, subject to the buyer’s requirements, budget and internal approval. This is a works contract focused on building installation, central-heating and boiler installation, and mechanical installation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is Platform Housing Group.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the EEM Heating and Hot Water Systems Framework. Bids closed on 10 July 2026 at 14:00. The estimated procurement value was £1,000,000. Platform Housing Group awarded the contract to Dodd Group (Midlands) Ltd on 6 August 2026 for £1,399,668.36. The awarded contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender is recorded as complete and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework mini-competition route, with tender documents, clarifications and submissions managed through the buyer’s e-tendering arrangements. The award covers the communal heating replacement and associated works described for the three named schemes, with the possible fourth scheme treated as a provisional item.

This procurement indicates demand for contractors able to replace and integrate communal heating infrastructure in occupied or managed residential buildings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience with gas-fired boiler plant, flue systems, heating controls, hot water storage, heat interface units and modifications to existing pipework. Capability across mechanical, electrical and builders’ works would be important, as would the ability to coordinate several housing schemes under one programme and manage detailed design and construction information. Suppliers should be comfortable competing through a public-sector heating and hot-water framework mini-competition, preparing priced submissions against specifications and drawings, and delivering within a tightly defined works programme. The buyer’s stated SME suitability suggests that appropriately qualified smaller contractors may be able to compete, either independently or through suitable delivery arrangements.
