Procurement of Gas Testing Servicing and Repair, and Related Heating Services.

From: Extraordinary Meeting, Council - Thursday, 14th August, 2025 7.30 pm - August 14, 2025

The current contract with Gasway Services Limited (originally two contracts - one with Blueflame and one with Gasway - until the latter company took over the former company) expires at the end of June 2025 having been extended since its original end date in 2021. A full procurement exercise was commenced but was not completed. Together with our colleagues in the County Council’s procurement team TDC has entered into an access agreement with Eastern Procurement Limited, a framework provider based in the Eastern region founded by and specialising in services for social landlords. Working with Essex Procurement Partnership and with Eastern Procurement Limited we have identified a fully compliant and competitively tendered framework from which we can directly appoint a new contractor.
