Heating Contracts and Tenders

Most notices are boiler servicing, central heating installation and replacement, and heating upgrade programmes across council and housing association stock. The rest covers underfloor heating, solar thermal servicing, district heating network extensions, and school heating replacement projects, often bundled with electrical or fabric works on the same site.

Stotles brings together heating tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Heating servicing usually runs inside repairs and mechanical and electrical frameworks, and boiler replacements are often let as single-site works.

Heating tenders are scored on price, engineer competence, response times, first-time fix rates and resident liaison. Servicing contracts run for several years, so performance on the current contract decides renewals.

Gas work must be carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and landlords' annual gas safety checks follow the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Servicing and maintenance contracts often run for several years inside wider repairs or mechanical and electrical frameworks, while boiler replacements are usually let as single-site works. Councils, housing associations, NHS health boards, universities and central government departments are the recurring buyers of heating work.

Read capital programmes, planned maintenance schedules, estate condition surveys and early market engagement notices, which show heating work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Heating maps to CPV codes 45331100 (Central-heating installation work) and 39715200 (Heating equipment), and 45232141 (Heating works). Boiler-specific and heat pump codes also appear on newer low-carbon heating jobs.
