Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured works to replace the gas boilers at its Sion Hill site and install hot water storage. The requirement covers boiler installation and associated repair and maintenance services. The work was to be delivered in the South West of England, with the university as the buying organisation. This is a building-services and mechanical-installation requirement focused on upgrading heating and hot-water plant. It would suit businesses that deliver commercial gas boiler replacement, plant-room installation and hot-water storage works, including suppliers able to manage the associated removal, installation and servicing activities as a single package. The procurement was classified primarily as works, with boiler installations and repair and maintenance services identified as the relevant areas of activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a limited competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. The quotation deadline was 20 February 2024. Bath Spa University awarded the contract to Mannings Facilities Management Limited on 22 May 2024 for GBP 143,332.10. The tender described a contract period from 1 July 2024 to 1 August 2024, while the award recorded the period as 1 July 2024 to 18 August 2024. The tender’s estimated value was also GBP 143,332.10. There were no lots recorded, so the award relates to the complete boiler replacement and hot-water storage requirement. The process was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from Bath Spa University for a substantial, self-contained commercial heating upgrade rather than routine domestic boiler work. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need proven capability in gas boiler replacement, commercial plant-room installation and hot-water storage, together with the capacity to coordinate removal of existing equipment, installation and associated maintenance work. The buyer’s assessment marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that a larger facilities-management or mechanical-services provider was considered better placed to deliver it. Credibility would therefore come from demonstrable experience of university or other complex buildings, reliable project management, competent gas and mechanical engineering resources, and the ability to complete a coordinated heating and hot-water installation for one institutional client.
