Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "Fort Cumberland Urgent Heating Controls Works" has been successfully completed by Historic England, a central government public authority based in Swindon. This procurement centred around urgent works to the heating system at Fort Cumberland and involved services in the heating equipment and heating engineering sectors. The procurement process used was direct and conducted below the threshold without competition, focusing on delivery across several regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, and UKK. Key dates in the process included the signing of the contract on 23rd April 2025, with the contract active from 28th April to 1st June 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heating engineering and equipment servicing, especially those that excel in handling urgent and specialist projects. Although the procurement had already been awarded to J Ashwell Ltd, a small to medium enterprise located in Christchurch, similar opportunities can aid business growth for companies that position themselves to meet future needs of public authorities like Historic England. Such contracts often require a nimble approach and expertise in quickly deploying and completing technical services, making them ideal for specialised engineering firms.
