Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council commissioned works to replace the boiler installation at John Lampon Court, Port Lane, Smithfields, Colchester, Essex. The requirement covers replacement of the central boilers, pumps, landlord-only water heater and pipework within the boiler plantroom. It also includes a new mechanical control panel, new flues and commissioning. Heating distribution works are limited to flushing and water treatment. The contractor must provide and commission temporary services supplied by the client, including temporary pipework and a temporary boiler. This is a building services and mechanical engineering works contract, classified as boiler installation work and boiler supply. Delivery is at John Lampon Court in Colchester, within the East of England.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Gasway Services Ltd was awarded the contract by Colchester City Council on 25 August 2026 for £131,500. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The original tender deadline was 9 July 2026. The procurement used a tender process for works, with the contract to be delivered under the JCT Design and Build Contract 2024 Edition. The requirement was presented as a single package covering the boiler plantroom and associated temporary services. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period match the overall tender information.

This award indicates demand for a contractor able to deliver a complete commercial boiler plantroom replacement within a live building-services environment. Relevant capability includes removing and replacing central boilers, pumps, a landlord-only water heater and associated plantroom pipework; installing mechanical controls and flues; and carrying out commissioning. Competitors would also need practical experience of flushing and treating heating distribution systems and arranging temporary heating services, including temporary pipework and boiler installation. The requirement favours firms able to coordinate multiple mechanical disciplines, manage temporary arrangements safely and hand over a commissioned installation. Familiarity with the JCT Design and Build Contract 2024 Edition would help a supplier prepare for a comparable requirement from this council.
