Summary of the contracting process

Falmouth Exeter Plus appointed a single contractor for minor works and design at the Sports Centre on Penryn Campus, Cornwall. The requirement covers installation of air-source heat-pump infrastructure and associated enabling works to support decarbonisation of the facility. It is a construction project in the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation category. The buyer is Falmouth Exeter Plus, which operates at the Penryn Campus. The work is focused on the Sports Centre rather than a broad estates programme, so relevant businesses are contractors able to combine heat-pump infrastructure installation with the design and delivery of associated building or engineering works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ZLC Energy Ltd on 16 July 2026. The award value is £270,000 and the awarded contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. The tender had an estimated value of £290,000, with submissions due by 29 June 2026 at noon. Falmouth Exeter Plus used an open procedure for a works contract. A single contractor was sought and selected. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender’s planned contract period was 20 July to 11 September 2026, while the awarded period starts on 31 July and ends on 11 September 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Falmouth Exeter Plus for campus decarbonisation works centred on air-source heat-pump infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to provide both design capability and practical installation expertise, coordinating the heat-pump system with associated enabling works at an operational sports facility. Relevant heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation experience would be important, alongside the ability to manage a minor works contract as a single main contractor. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist businesses with sufficient delivery capacity may be able to compete without the scale of a major construction framework. Experience delivering low-carbon building-services projects would strengthen a supplier’s position when similar work returns to this buyer.
