## Summary

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is procuring gas maintenance and installation services for its housing stock of approximately 9,500 properties. The requirement covers gas appliance maintenance and related installation work, serving council-owned or managed homes across the Welwyn Hatfield borough area. This is a housing maintenance services opportunity for contractors able to inspect, maintain, repair and install gas appliances and associated systems at scale. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Welwyn Garden City. The work is presented as a single requirement rather than separate service areas, so suppliers should be prepared to provide a coordinated gas maintenance and installation service across the full housing stock.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. Suppliers could submit expressions of interest by 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2038. The estimated overall value is £30 million excluding VAT and £36 million including VAT. One lot is recorded, with the same value shown as AED 30 million excluding VAT and AED 36 million including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 60% to quality and 40% to price. The anticipated award decision date is 16 March 2027.

This opportunity suits established gas maintenance and installation contractors with the technical capability to support a large residential housing portfolio over a long-term service period. Relevant suppliers are those experienced in planned and responsive gas appliance maintenance, installation, inspection, repair and safety-related servicing in occupied homes. The scale calls for sufficient qualified engineering staff, scheduling and customer-service capacity, emergency response arrangements, stock and supply-chain management, and systems for recording compliance and completed work across thousands of properties. Contractors with demonstrable public-sector, council or social-housing experience should be well placed to compete, particularly where they can manage a consistent service across Welwyn Hatfield and provide reliable evidence of quality performance.
