Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council appointed a contractor for boiler and central-heating upgrade works at Hampton Dene School in Hereford. The requirement covers installation work for boilers and central-heating systems, with delivery in Hereford. It is a works contract managed by the council as the public-sector buyer. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. The named requirement concerns school heating infrastructure, so relevant businesses are mechanical and electrical contractors with the capability to undertake boiler installation, central-heating upgrades and associated works in an operational education setting. The awarded supplier was C.F. Roberts (Electrical Contractors) Limited, based in Cheltenham.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through an open, below-threshold competition. Questions were due by 16 March 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 23 March 2026 at 12:00. The estimated requirement was £528,750 excluding VAT, or £634,500 including VAT. The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and is recorded as active. The contract period runs from 13 May 2026 to 30 September 2027. The signed contract is valued at £247,478 excluding VAT, or £296,973.60 including VAT. Evaluation was based on quality at 48%, price at 40% and social value at 12%. C.F. Roberts (Electrical Contractors) Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot.

This award indicates demand from Herefordshire Council for specialist school heating and boiler upgrade works delivered through an open competition. A credible future competitor would need practical experience installing and upgrading boilers and central-heating systems, with the workforce, supervision and site-management capacity to work safely in a school environment. The evaluation weighting shows that technical quality carried greater importance than price alone, while social value formed a material part of the assessment. Suppliers should therefore be able to present a clear delivery method, demonstrate reliable workmanship and customer management, and explain how their operations create local or wider social benefits. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist contractor could compete without needing the scale of a major national business.
