## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council revolves around securing Gas Maintenance Services, as noted under tender ID C1194. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on ensuring continuity of services after the existing contracts expire in March 2028. Specifically, the council is seeking to maintain central heating systems, including approximately 8,589 properties, with an annual repair volume of around 6,864 and the installation of 600-700 boilers yearly. The procurement falls under the services category and targets public authority - sub-central government operations. Key dates include a soft market engagement scheduled for 18 May 2026 in Welwyn Garden City, where the council will explore service delivery options, including third-party gas audits and air source heat pump maintenance. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the council's procurement unit via email.

This tender opportunity provides a significant growth potential for businesses specialising in heating system repairs and maintenance, especially those focusing on gas appliances. With a focus on maintaining a large number of properties, this opens doors for both established service providers and small-to-medium enterprises capable of managing substantial maintenance and repair operations. Companies with experience in handling large-scale boiler installations and those who can innovate in delivering complementary services, such as energy efficiency audits or heat pump maintenance, are especially well-suited to participate. Additionally, the council's interest in exploring renewable energy solutions through air source heat pumps could attract businesses looking to expand into sustainable service offerings.
