Gas & Other Fuels Heating System Servicing, Maintenance Repair and selected Replacement and associated services and associated supplies
Reference number

two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 50720000 - Repair and maintenance services of central heating
two.1.3) Type of contract
Services
two.1.4) Short description
The inspection, servicing and repair of heating equipment is a fundamental responsibility that landlords are obligated to undertake. In particular it is a requirement that all gas, LPG and oil powered appliances owned by the landlord are serviced annually. This framework will cover the servicing, repair, replacement and upgrade of heating systems (including hydrogen should it be implemented). Please note that Members retain the right to utilise all or part of these when mini-tendering.
The main elements of the scope of service are:
• Safety Checks;
• Periodic Servicing and Inspections;
• Routine Maintenance;
• Diagnosis of faults;
• Responsive Maintenance;
• Out of Hours Emergency Work;
• Ad hoc boiler replacements (excluding planned programmes);
• Commercial and communal boiler
• Technical Inspections; and
• Mutual Exchange Gas Tests
All properties must have a valid Landlord’s Gas Safety Record (LGSR) or OFTEC certificate as appropriate. The minimum acceptable performance level is 100%. As the provision and retention of accurate up-to-date information is a crucial part of this type of contract, we require that the contractor provides access to a secure online system to manage information.
Whilst this framework allows the landlord to order the installation of replacement systems, it does not create a contractual obligation for the client to award all replacements to the successful contractor.
