## Summary

The procurement process for "Gas Fire Removals (RMS)" was undertaken by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, aimed at the construction industry, specifically within the region coded UKG23, and completed as per the award phase in December 2025. This process, classified under construction work, focused on removing existing gas fires, repairing openings to match existing finishes, and potentially installing new electric fires. The procurement was conducted through an open competition method with award based solely on price. Initially launched on 24th July 2025, the tendering period concluded on 14th August 2025. The awarded contract, signed on 30th October 2025, is effective until late September 2027, helping the council manage its repairs and maintenance services efficiently.

This tender could provide substantial opportunities for businesses in the gas fitting, heating, and related construction industries, especially those specialising in retrofit and refurbishment projects. The council's focus on achieving best value through retendering suggests a promising environment for competitive pricing and innovative solutions. HOLDCROFT HEATING & GAS FITTING LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise based in Stoke-On-Trent, was successful in securing this contract, demonstrating favourable prospects for local SMEs with relevant competencies. Businesses adept at managing below-threshold competitions and those capable of delivering cost-effective services in line with public authority standards could find similar procurements beneficial for growth in this sector.

## Notice

Stoke-on-Trent City Council's Repairs & Maintenance Services Department is looking to appoint a single contractor to remove existing gas fires, block up openings to match existing finishes and in some cases install new electric fire. This opportunity has previously been advertised (project reference DN776749) but the bids received were substantially higher than expected budget. As part of our commitment to achieving best value, the opportunity is being retendered to allow for market warming to be carried out. The contract period is 2 years. This opportunity will be awarded based on price only.
