Valves Tenders and Contracts

Valves tenders cover replacing, repairing and maintaining valves in building and plant systems, such as isolation valves on heating and water systems, thermostatic mixing valves in water hygiene contracts and safety valves on steam equipment. Specialist valves for research and industrial plant also appear.

Stotles brings together valves 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. Valve work usually reaches market inside water hygiene, heating and planned maintenance contracts, and hospital water treatment call-offs often cover thermostatic mixing valves.

Valve work on hot and cold water systems must follow legionella control guidance such as HSG274, and pressure systems fall under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000. 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.

Thermostatic mixing valves are usually bought with other water hygiene work. Hospitals and universities tender thermostatic mixing valve inspection, testing and maintenance as part of a water hygiene planned preventative maintenance contract that also covers items such as cold water storage tanks and calorifiers.

A safety valve releases pressure to protect a system from damage, while an isolation valve shuts off flow so a section of pipework can be repaired or replaced. Both appear as named items in contracts covering heating, water, steam and gas systems.

NHS trusts and health boards, universities and councils buy valve replacement and maintenance, mostly inside wider planned preventative maintenance or building services contracts rather than as separate valve orders.

Read water safety plans, legionella risk assessments, planned maintenance schedules and expiry dates for existing water hygiene contracts, which show valve 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.

Repair and maintenance of valves has its own code, 50512000, and pressure-reducing, control, check or safety valves sit under 42131140. Many valve jobs are classified more broadly, such as repair and maintenance of building installations 50700000 or water plumbing work 45332200, so a keyword search catches more than a code does.
