Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured works to replace life-expired fan convectors at Wavendon Gate School in Milton Keynes. The scope covered removing the existing heating units, installing new heat emitters, altering associated pipework and completing all necessary making-good works. This is a building-services and heating installation requirement, including central-heating equipment and related works (CPV 45331100). The work is for a school site and involves upgrading existing heating infrastructure rather than supplying standalone equipment. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is delivered in Milton Keynes. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would typically be heating, mechanical-services or building-maintenance contractors able to undertake installation works in an occupied or operational education environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 20 May 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 11 May 2026 at 23:59. Evaluation was based on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%. Munns Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £63,925 excluding VAT and £73,710 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract as active. This outcome shows that the council selected a specialist supplier through an openly competed, below-threshold works procedure for a short-duration school heating replacement project.

This procurement is relevant to contractors specialising in commercial heating replacement, mechanical building services and school or public-sector maintenance works. A credible future supplier would need to survey and remove obsolete fan convectors, install replacement heat emitters, connect and modify heating pipework, test the completed system and leave affected areas properly made good. Experience coordinating several trades and working safely around a school environment would be commercially useful, as would the capacity to complete a focused replacement project within a short delivery window. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only a large national business. Competitors should be prepared to demonstrate both technical quality and competitive pricing.
