Procure Plus are a value focused, not for profit company that specialises in the procurement of goods and services related to both the new build, repair, and maintenance of social housing.

The servicing, maintenance and repair of renewable heating systems covers both air source heat pump and ground source heat pump systems for both domestic and commercial heating equipment.
In accordance with the provisions of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (63)(7), Bidders on Lot 1and Lot 2 are advised that Contractors who are appointed to this framework agreement will not be permitted to sub-contract the responsibility for the service, maintenance, and repair of gas appliances.

Contractors appointed to the framework agreement will be permitted, with the agreement of the Customer, to utilise subcontractors to complete the works required to solid fuel appliances and to supplement the service, maintenance, and repair of gas appliances in exceptional circumstances. For example, additional volume caused by extreme weather conditions and / or the geographical spread of properties.
