Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council commissioned works at Clacton Leisure Centre to replace its end-of-life oil boiler system with a modern, lower-carbon heating solution and install new solar photovoltaic panels. The scope covers boiler installation, heat-pump technology, solar energy systems and associated construction works for a leisure facility. The project supports the council’s wider decarbonisation strategy and is intended to minimise disruption to the centre’s operations while the works are carried out. Essex County Council managed the procuring requirement for Tendring District Council. Delivery is in Essex, centred on Clacton Leisure Centre. This is a building-services and energy-upgrade project rather than a supply-only purchase, suited to contractors able to coordinate mechanical, electrical, renewable-energy and construction activities on an operational leisure site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RE-GEN (M&E SERVICES) LTD on 2 December 2025. It used a below-threshold open competition with one lot. The estimated value was £1,200,000 excluding VAT (£1,440,000 including VAT); the awarded and contracted value is £1,308,606 excluding VAT (£1,570,327 including VAT). The tender deadline was 12 November 2025 at 17:00, following an extension for additional information and site visits. There were 13 final-stage bids, including 10 from SMEs. Evaluation weighted commercial price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%. The award period ran from 19 December 2025 to 30 November 2026, while the signed contract is dated 19 December 2025 and runs from 5 January to 4 December 2026.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial demand from Tendring District Council for integrated mechanical and electrical building-services work at an operational leisure facility. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience replacing oil-fired heating, designing or installing low-carbon heating systems including heat pumps, and delivering solar photovoltaic installations alongside associated building works. It would also need to coordinate several technical disciplines, manage commissioning and handover, and maintain safe operations with minimal disruption to leisure-centre users. The requirement attracted strong SME participation, showing that smaller specialist or multi-disciplinary contractors can compete when they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capacity, quality approach and social-value contribution. Experience of grant-funded decarbonisation projects would also be relevant to this buyer’s priorities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Clacton Leisure Centre Oil Boiler Replacement and Installation of New Solar PV's

Notice Description

Project Objective The project aims to replace the existing end-of-life oil boiler system at Clacton Leisure Centre with a modern, low-carbon heating solution and and Installation of New Solar PV's. This is part of Tendring District Council's broader decarbonisation strategy and is supported by a successful PSDS Phase 4 grant application. Scope of Works Please review the specifications for the proposed works. Key Considerations The project is time-sensitive due to the failure of one of the existing boilers and the requirement to draw down most of Salix funding within the 2025/26 financial year. All works must be completed and commissioned by April/May 2026 to meet grant conditions. The project must be delivered with minimal disruption to leisure centre operations.
