Summary of the contracting process

Lincoln College Group sought building installation works to improve loft insulation at the Abbey, Friary and Temple Buildings in Lincoln. The project formed part of the Salix Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Phase 4 and focused on installing loft insulation across the three college buildings. The buyer was Lincoln College Group, with the work taking place at its Lincoln premises. This is a works requirement for contractors specialising in insulation installation, building services and associated construction activity. The requirement covered one lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The planned works were intended to support improvements to the buildings’ energy performance through the installation of loft insulation.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, so the process reached the tender stage. The deadline for tender submissions was 24 April 2026 at 12:00, with the award decision due by 11 May 2026. The planned contract period was 29 June to 28 August 2026. The published overall gross value was £0, while the lot value was recorded as 0 AED. Tenders were evaluated on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. The procurement was subsequently cancelled after the tender process and review of quotations. Lincoln College Group stated that the required works significantly exceeded the available project budget, making the project financially unviable, and decided not to proceed.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized contractors with practical experience in loft insulation and building installation works. Suppliers would have needed the capability to plan and carry out insulation work across three college buildings, coordinate site activity and deliver the required scope within the planned works period. Strong pricing capability would have been important because price carried most of the evaluation weighting, while the quality weighting also rewarded a credible technical and delivery approach. Contractors with experience of public-sector buildings, energy-efficiency or decarbonisation projects, and managing work across multiple sites would have been well placed to compete. The procurement has been cancelled because submitted quotations exceeded the available budget, so it is not proceeding.
