Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust procured works for Catfield C of E Primary Academy to upgrade the plantroom and provide an adequate heating system. The requirement falls within boiler installation and wider heating-system works, covering the school premises in Catfield. The buyer arranged the procurement on behalf of the academy, so relevant suppliers are heating, boiler and building-services contractors able to work in an educational setting. The work is classified as construction works rather than a supply-only purchase, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement concerns the practical replacement or improvement of plantroom equipment delivering heat to the school, rather than general facilities management, routine maintenance or an unrelated consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 24 July 2026 at 18:00. The estimated value was £50,000. Bruce Towers and Sons Limited was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026 for £64,901.90. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 1 October 2026. The award covers the single heating-system requirement for Catfield C of E Primary Academy. This outcome shows that the buyer selected a specialist contractor through a competitive route, with the award value exceeding the original estimate. The published process therefore provides a clear benchmark for the scale and commercial level of this school plantroom and boiler installation requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement is a useful indicator of the Trust’s demand for specialist heating works in its academies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical boiler installation expertise, experience upgrading plantrooms and the workforce, supervision and site coordination needed to complete work in a live school environment. The contract’s short delivery window indicates a need for contractors that can mobilise promptly, manage installation and commissioning efficiently, and minimise disruption to school operations. The opportunity was expressly suitable for SMEs, so a focused local or regional heating contractor could compete without being a large national facilities-management provider. Relevant businesses should also be able to price complete heating-system works, not just individual equipment or routine servicing.
