Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough College procured works to replace existing gas heating systems in three buildings with new air source heat pumps (ASHP). The requirement is heating installation and related heating infrastructure work, including district-heating mains and plant construction and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation. Delivery is associated with the college’s site on Dock Street, Middlesbrough, England. The procurement is categorised as works and concerns the decarbonisation of public-sector buildings by moving away from gas heating. Businesses relevant to this requirement include mechanical and electrical contractors, heating-system installers, heat-pump specialists and firms experienced in integrating low-carbon heating into existing non-domestic buildings.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MJ Quinn Integrated Services on 8 September 2026. The award value is £4,942,450.07. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original tender used an open procedure, with submissions due by 31 May 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded scope covers the replacement of gas heating across three buildings with air source heat pumps. One supplier received the award, and the published outcome records the award as active. The procurement data does not state a separate price or quality weighting for evaluation.

This award shows that Middlesbrough College buys substantial, building-level decarbonisation works rather than isolated heating equipment. A credible future supplier would need to survey existing gas systems, design and install appropriately sized air source heat-pump systems, connect them safely to existing building services and manage delivery across several occupied or operational buildings. Relevant capability includes heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation, district-heating infrastructure and plant construction, commissioning, testing and handover. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist contractors or capable regional firms may be able to compete, including through a delivery team covering design, installation, electrical interfaces and project management. Experience delivering public-sector or education-sector heating upgrades would strengthen a competing proposition.
