Summary of the contracting process

Central Swindon North Parish Council is inviting tenders for its Heat Decarbonisation Programme, which encompasses the installation of low-carbon heating and Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) at four community centres in Swindon. This contract involves significant district-heating plant construction work and engineering design services, aimed at transitioning from fossil fuel systems to air source heat pump systems. Businesses engaged in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation, as well as electrical installation, will find this tender in the South West of the United Kingdom highly relevant. The procurement is conducted as an Open Procedure, and due to funding constraints, it is time-sensitive, with the tender period concluding on 12th March 2026 and the contract commencing on 20th March 2026. The works are set to complete by 1st March 2028.

Suitably equipped businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to seize this opportunity for growth by participating in this tender process. The programme demands expertise in innovative heating solutions and requires contractors capable of handling complex installations and liaising with electrical capacity operators. Companies specialising in engineering design services can leverage the demand for design development from RIBA Stage 3 to Stage 4. By engaging in this contract, businesses can both expand their portfolio in sustainable energy solutions and contribute to impactful community enhancements in Swindon. Thorough understanding of the technical documentation is essential, and interested parties are advised to contact the council directly to access necessary files; this step is critical to ensuring comprehensive tender submissions.
