Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured works to remove and install a new boiler at Bourne Leisure Centre. The requirement falls within construction and building-services installation, covering the physical replacement of the leisure centre’s boiler rather than a general maintenance service. Delivery was associated with Bourne Leisure Centre in South Kesteven. The council was the buying organisation. The procurement comprised one complete lot and was awarded to Selmec (Lincoln) Ltd, an SME based in Lincoln. Businesses relevant to this requirement include commercial heating, boiler replacement, mechanical installation and building-services contractors able to carry out works in an operational leisure-centre environment. The requirement indicates a focused project involving replacement of a major heating asset, rather than a broad multi-site framework or supply-only purchase.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Selmec (Lincoln) Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was active and related to one lot. The contract was signed on 6 January 2025, ran from 5 March 2025 to 14 March 2025, and had a gross value of £45,057.60. The contract was terminated on 14 March 2025 because it was completed. The implementation end date was recorded as 14 March 2025, with a final value of £37,548 excluding VAT and £45,057 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the award covering construction work and installation services for the boiler replacement at Bourne Leisure Centre. No separate award values or additional lots were reported.

This procurement provides a clear example of South Kesteven District Council’s demand for discrete mechanical and heating works at a public leisure facility. A credible future competitor would need practical experience removing existing boiler equipment and installing replacement plant, together with the workforce, tools and project management capacity to complete a short, site-based works package. Relevant firms are likely to include SME heating engineers, mechanical-services contractors, commercial boiler specialists and construction businesses with in-house or partnered installation capability. Experience working in public buildings or leisure centres would help demonstrate the ability to manage access, safety, continuity of building operations and coordination with the council. The successful supplier’s SME status also indicates that this scale and type of requirement can suit smaller specialist contractors, not only large national engineering companies.
