What this is

East Lothian Council will invite bids for a Term Maintenance Contract for planned and reactive maintenance of gas, oil and LPG systems in non-domestic properties — annual inspection, servicing, testing, repairs and maintenance for natural gas, oil and LPG. The term is three years from acceptance with an option to extend once for one year, expected to start around 31 December 2026. It is a two-stage process: the first stage is an SPD-based selection that restricts the number of tenderers using non-discriminatory criteria. Estimated value GBP 600,000.

Key points
