Summary of the contracting process

Walsall College procured works to replace three existing end-of-life chiller units at its Wisemore Campus in Walsall with modern integrated heat-pump systems providing both heating and cooling. The project covers heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation, cooling-equipment installation, central-heating installation and associated electrical building services. It forms part of the college’s capital investment programme, supporting improvements to estate condition, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, operational resilience and the quality of the learning environment. The buyer is Walsall College, based in Walsall, England. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors able to deliver commercial building-services works involving the replacement and integration of heating and cooling plant within an operating educational estate.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Walsall College used an open procedure, with the tender closing on 31 May 2026. The contract was awarded to Trane UK on 13 August 2026 for £442,920. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The published scope concerns one requirement covering the Wisemore Campus project rather than separately awarded lots. The opportunity was identified as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and Trane UK is the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the open competition described, with the available record identifying the works scope and supplier outcome rather than publishing detailed scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist commercial heating, cooling and electrical building-services capability at a further-education campus. A credible competitor for similar work would need to assess and replace ageing chiller plant, design or install integrated heat-pump systems, and provide reliable heating and cooling from a coordinated solution. Relevant experience should include HVAC installation, cooling equipment, central heating and associated electrical connections in non-domestic buildings. Suppliers would also benefit from demonstrating the capacity to manage a multi-unit replacement project, coordinate safely within an educational estate and deliver improvements linked to energy efficiency, decarbonisation and resilience. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so an appropriately experienced specialist contractor may be well placed to compete, either directly or through a suitable delivery team.
