What is being bought

Published requirement description

Tenders were invited from contractors to support Sandwell MBC undertake its Landlords Duty in ensuring that gas safety inspection, service and associated repair works for all gas pipework, appliances and fittings owned by Sandwell MBC are carried out within statutory timescale in various types of properties within Sandwell. Sandwell MBC operates an MOT style gas servicing cycle; there are currently 25750 dwellings with a live gas supply. For tendering purposes, the schedule therefore includes attendances to 28,700 dwellings per year. The Gas Safety Inspections contract SMBC 20043 awarded for the period 1/8/2021 to 31/7/2025, will run in parallel to this procurement and be merged back into one contract for the next procurement exercise. This procurement exercise is for the Area West Bromwich/Smethwick/Oldbury only for the period 1/11/2022 to 31/7/2025, as the companies who were awarded those areas haven given notice to terminate the contract.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Gas Safety Inspections 2022 – 2025” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
