## Summary

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is seeking contractors for planned and reactive maintenance, statutory compliance, emergency response and minor works across its borough property portfolio. The four specialist service areas cover heating and general mechanical systems, including boilers, pumps and hot water plant; HVAC, air conditioning, ventilation, building controls and renewable energy equipment; water hygiene, Legionella control, risk assessments, sampling and treatment; and lift maintenance, breakdown response, passenger release and minor refurbishment. Suppliers can bid for any or all of these areas, regardless of other lots they already hold. The work is maintaining the Council’s buildings and associated equipment in Tunbridge Wells borough.

The Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a tender stage and an optional value-engineering stage. Bids were due by 12 noon on 19 October 2026; enquiries were due by 12 noon on 12 October 2026. The initial contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031, with possible annual extensions for up to five further years. The stated gross values are £960,000 each for heating and mechanical services and HVAC and renewables, £480,000 for water hygiene and specialist water systems, and £360,000 for lift maintenance; the overall stated value is £2.76 million. Each lot is evaluated on quality (70%) and cost (30%).

The opportunity is divided into specialist lots, and the Council states that small and medium-sized businesses are suitable bidders. It may suit established building-services maintenance contractors with the relevant technical teams, equipment and capacity to provide planned maintenance alongside reactive repairs, compliance work and emergency attendance across a council property portfolio. The mechanical lot calls for heating and plant maintenance expertise; the HVAC lot suits firms covering controls, ventilation, air conditioning and renewable systems; the water lot requires capability in water hygiene, Legionella management, assessment, testing and treatment; and the lift lot requires lift servicing, breakdown and passenger-release provision. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate strong service quality, which carries more evaluation weight than cost. Offers may be made for any combination of the four specialist areas.
