Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured boiler and central-heating upgrade works for St David’s Pupil Referral Unit at St David’s Centre in Hereford. The requirement covers installing and upgrading boilers and the building’s central-heating system. It is a construction and building-services opportunity focused on heating installation rather than general facilities management or routine maintenance. The council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered at the pupil referral unit in Hereford. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier was C.F. Roberts (Electrical Contractors) Limited, a Cheltenham-based SME specialising in electrical contracting. Businesses with comparable commercial heating installation capability, particularly those able to undertake boiler replacement and associated central-heating works in education premises, are the closest match.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to C.F. Roberts (Electrical Contractors) Limited. It used a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 12 March 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry period ended on 5 March 2026 at 12:00. The lot’s estimated value was £258,500 excluding VAT (£310,200 including VAT). The contract was signed on 6 May 2026, with the contract period running from 13 May 2026 to 30 September 2027. The awarded contract value is £233,343 excluding VAT (£280,011.60 including VAT). Evaluation gave 48% to quality, 12% to social value and 40% to price. The procurement was for one lot, covering the complete boiler and central-heating upgrade requirement.

This outcome indicates demand from Herefordshire Council for planned boiler and central-heating installation works in a public-sector education setting. A credible competitor for similar future requirements would need the technical workforce, supervision and installation capacity to deliver heating upgrades safely within an operating or recently operating pupil referral environment. Relevant experience in boiler installation, central-heating systems and coordinated building works would help demonstrate quality. Suppliers should also be able to provide a clear social-value offer, since social value formed a distinct part of the evaluation. Strong quality evidence and competitive pricing would both matter, rather than relying on price alone. The opportunity was structured to suit SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist contractors or suitable delivery partnerships could be well placed where they can evidence capability, capacity, compliance and dependable delivery.
