UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by West Northamptonshire Council, involved the award and contracting stage to appoint a mechanical and electrical (M&E) contractor for Blisworth Community Primary School. The council, located at Angel Street, Northampton, sought to engage a company to carry out the installation, connection, testing, and commissioning of various mechanical and electrical services. The industry category for this procurement is 'Construction work', and the process was conducted under a limited procurement method, indicating competition below the threshold limits. The contract was officially signed on 20th January 2026, with active status, to begin on the 20th of July 2026.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction and engineering services. Constant Air Systems Limited, an SME based in High Wycombe, successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the suitability of similar businesses to compete in such public sector bids. Given the work involves coordination to minimise disruption during school periods, firms with expertise in providing seamless integration of services in occupied premises would be particularly well-suited. This procurement also underscores the importance of meeting statutory requirements and adhering to health and safety standards, which are critical for successful project delivery within the UK's public sector environment.
