Summary of the contracting process

ADB (UK) LIMITED is procuring works for the Trinity Arts & Leisure Centre in Bedford: an upgrade to the building’s main heating and hot water generation system. The requirement covers careful decommissioning, strip-out and disposal of the existing plant, followed by the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a new system. The completed installation must comply fully with the tender drawings, specifications and schedules. This is a mechanical and electrical building-services project, with the published classification covering electrical installation work for heating and other electrical building equipment (CPV 45315000). The work is based in Bedford, at the Trinity Arts & Leisure Centre. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above threshold. The tender was published on 9 September 2026. Bids were due by 12:00 on 5 October 2026. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. Its estimated value is £250,000 including the stated GBP currency. The requirement is presented as one overall works package rather than separate lots. Offers are to be assessed against the tender drawings, specifications and schedules, which define the required heating and hot water system and the work needed to deliver it. Suppliers should ensure their offer covers decommissioning, disposal, design, supply, installation and commissioning across the full project scope.

This opportunity suits a mechanical and electrical contractor able to deliver a complete heating and hot-water plant replacement rather than isolated supply or installation services. Relevant capability includes safely decommissioning and stripping out existing plant, arranging compliant disposal, designing a replacement generation system, supplying the necessary equipment, installing it and commissioning the completed works. Bidders should be able to work from detailed drawings, technical specifications and schedules, and demonstrate the technical control needed to ensure the finished system complies with them. The project is suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to established smaller contractors with the design, site-delivery and commissioning capacity to manage a full building-services upgrade through to completion.
