Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured works to upgrade the boiler and heating systems at Ashfield Park Primary School in Ross-on-Wye. The requirement covers central-heating installation and boiler installation, with the aim of improving the school’s heating infrastructure. It is a construction and building-services opportunity for a contractor able to undertake heating-system works in an operational education setting. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located at the school in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. The procurement concerned one requirement rather than separate service categories, with the heating and boiler elements treated as a single package. The stated procurement category is works, and the relevant CPV classifications are central-heating installation work and boiler installation work.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Jackwolf Group Ltd was selected for the heating and boiler upgrade works. The tender was evaluated on quality at 48%, social value at 12% and price at 40%. The tender enquiry deadline was 23 February 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 3 March 2026 at 12:00. The estimated contract value was £317,500 excluding VAT, or £381,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026. Its value is £370,629.89 excluding VAT, or £444,755.87 including VAT, and its period runs from 30 April 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract is active and the tender is complete.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Herefordshire Council for substantial school heating and boiler upgrade works delivered by a specialist building-services contractor. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in central-heating installation, boiler installation, system upgrades and associated works in a primary-school environment. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, while social value is also a material consideration, so a credible competitor would need to evidence reliable technical delivery, clear quality controls and a specific plan for local or wider social benefits. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist contractors with sufficient capacity and relevant education-sector experience could compete, either directly or through an appropriate delivery arrangement.
