Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bedford College is procuring works to upgrade the heating and hot-water systems at Trinity Arts & Leisure Centre in Bedford, England. The requirement covers the careful decommissioning, strip-out and disposal of the existing main heating and hot-water generation plant. The successful mechanical and electrical contractor will design, supply, install and commission a replacement main heating and hot-water generation system. The works must comply with the buyer’s tender drawings, specifications and schedules. This is a building-services and plant replacement project, with the main classification covering electrical installation work for heating and other electrical building equipment. The opportunity is intended for delivery at the centre identified by postcode MK42 9AH.

The procurement has reached tender: Bedford College invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline set for tender submissions was 12 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract period was set from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. Its estimated value is £250,000, including the stated currency. The requirement is classified as works and is presented as a single procurement item rather than separate lots. The tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published requirement refers bidders to tender drawings, specifications and schedules for the detailed technical requirements. The opportunity is accessed through the MultiQuote supplier system using reference CA18437.

This opportunity suits mechanical and electrical contractors able to deliver a complete heating and hot-water plant replacement, rather than suppliers providing only individual components or isolated installation services. Competitors will need capability to decommission, strip out and dispose of existing plant safely, develop or complete the required system design, supply suitable replacement equipment, install the new system and commission it. Experience working from detailed tender drawings, specifications and schedules will be relevant, as will the capacity to coordinate mechanical and electrical building-services works through the contract period. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs, making it potentially relevant to established specialist contractors with the technical resources and project-management capacity to deliver the full upgrade.
