UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Hope University sought works to replace the gas boilers in its SSA Building and Conference Centre with externally located air-source heat pumps, and to install point-of-use water heaters in both buildings. The work is electrical installation and heating-system replacement at the university in Liverpool.

The university invited offers through an open competition. The deadline for submissions was 20 March 2026 at 12:00. The single contract was scheduled to run from 11 May to 31 August 2026, with an estimated value of £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). Evaluation allocated 60% to commercial price and 40% to technical merit. The procurement was cancelled during evaluation: the buyer concluded that delivery costs were significantly higher than the available budget and could not proceed with an affordable, sustainable award.

The requirement suits a contractor able to remove existing gas boilers and deliver externally installed air-source heat pumps, point-of-use water heaters and associated electrical installation across two university buildings. The work was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises in Merseyside, so locally based businesses in those categories were eligible to compete. Technical merit formed a substantial part of the evaluation alongside price, making relevant installation capability and a technically sound delivery proposal important to the competition.
