The work covered servicing the council’s installed heat-recovery units, with detailed equipment information held in an asset register. This was a public-sector building-services requirement, classified under CPV 71315410 for building-installation maintenance services. The buyer was Fife Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. Delivery was across Fife, making the opportunity relevant to contractors able to inspect and maintain distributed housing assets rather than a single site. The requirement was structured as one lot and included electronic ordering and payment arrangements. The procurement was cancelled on 21 August 2026; the associated award was recorded as unsuccessful and discontinued. It had been run as an open procedure, with bids due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00 and bid opening scheduled for 13:00 the same day. The planned contract period was 720 days, with an option for an extension of up to 24 months, and a framework agreement was intended to have one participant. Evaluation allocated 50 points to price and 20 to technical competence and methodology. Bidders could submit variants. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and linked to a prior planning notice. No supplier was selected for the lot. This cancelled requirement is useful market evidence for firms specialising in MVHR servicing, mechanical and electrical building services, and maintenance across housing portfolios. A credible future competitor would need practical technical competence, a clear servicing methodology, and sufficient annual workforce and management capacity to cover assets throughout Fife. The stated requirements included ESC or CSCS certification, asbestos-awareness training, registration with NECIEC or SELECT, and BPEC training. Firms also needed a SEPA waste-carriers licence or equivalent, alongside documented quality-assurance and health-and-safety monitoring arrangements. Financial resilience and substantial insurance capability were expected, including employer’s liability, public liability and professional indemnity cover. These requirements point to an established, properly resourced maintenance contractor rather than an individual operative. ## Notice Fife Council has a requirement for servicing to be carried out on Heat Recovery Units that have been installed in new build housing and existing housing stock throughout Fife.
