EEM wishes to procure and enter into framework agreements with multiple Contractors for the provision of heating and hot water systems servicing, maintenance, repairs and Installations. A range of fuel types will be covered by the framework including but not limited to; gas, solid fuel, oil and renewable heating systems.

The framework will be tendered and awarded based on the following lots:

• Lot 2 - Commercial Heating Systems - Servicing, Maintenance, Repairs and Installation

• Lot 3 - Renewable Heating Systems Servicing, Maintenance, Repairs and Installations

• Lot 4 - Heating System Auditing and Consultancy Services

Sublot 2 - National Coverage

Contractors MUST be able to provide services in at least three of the sub regions (Counties) listed within the tender documents for Sublot 1 Midlands and at least Six of the sub regions (Counties) listed for Sublot 2 National Coverage.

The final number of Contractors appointed on to each lot and sublot of the Framework will depend on the outcome of the tender evaluation and organisations meeting minimum score requirements for the quality element of the evaluation.

Contracting Authorities who require a single contractor to manage the servicing and/or installation programmes across their domestic, commercial and or renewable heating system stock can compliantly procure a single contractor via EEM0026.
