Summary of the contracting process

Boston College procured works to replace reversible air source heat pump systems at Red Lion Quarter, Crackpool Lane, Spalding, England. The requirement is a mechanical installation project, covering the replacement of heating and cooling equipment at the college’s premises. It is relevant to contractors that install, replace or commission reversible air source heat pump systems and to mechanical services firms able to undertake associated installation works. The named buying organisation is Boston College. The procurement is classified as works rather than goods or services, and the published location identifies the Red Lion Quarter site in Spalding, with postcode PE11 1WD. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Boston College used an open procedure for a single requirement. Bids closed on 20 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 21 August 2026 to CORETEMP REFRIGERATION LTD for £58,602. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £50,000, while the awarded value is £58,602. The award is active. The published procurement information records no separate lots, award weighting or detailed eligibility conditions. The evaluation route was therefore the open procedure set out for the replacement works, with the named supplier selected at award stage. The buying organisation is Boston College.

This award is useful market evidence for mechanical installation and refrigeration contractors tracking Boston College’s estates requirements. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in replacing reversible air source heat pump systems, managing installation works at an occupied education site, and delivering within a defined project programme. The procurement was open rather than restricted to a named supplier, and the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors can assess it against their own delivery capacity. Firms with relevant heat-pump replacement experience, competent site management and the ability to provide a complete mechanical installation response would be best placed when this type of requirement returns to the buyer’s market. The awarded supplier demonstrates demand for specialist refrigeration-related delivery.
