The procurement falls under the construction industry category, specifically involving works such as insulation, central-heating installation, and boiler installation. Initially announced on 22nd September 2025, the tender process was in the active phase but was later cancelled on 13th January 2026 due to potential risks during winter. The project was valued at approximately £400,000 with a gross amount of £480,000 under an open competition procurement method, specifically aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Key deadlines involved a tender period ending on 17th October 2025, with contracts expected to start from 1st December 2025.

As it encouraged participation from SMEs and VCSEs, it was an excellent chance for smaller firms to expand their portfolios by undertaking significant public work. Although the tender was eventually cancelled, staying informed about such opportunities is crucial for businesses looking to enter or expand their footprint in the public sector construction and maintenance domain.
