Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council procured works to supply and install a replacement heating boiler at Ystruth Primary School in Blaina. The requirement covers central-heating boiler and heating installation work, including the associated heating works needed to provide the replacement system. Delivery is at the school in Blaina, Wales. The procurement is a single works requirement and was awarded to A M S Heating & Plumbing Ltd, an SME based in Blackwood. This is relevant to heating and plumbing contractors able to undertake boiler replacement and central-heating installation work in a school environment, including firms with the practical resources to manage supply, installation and completion of a heating-system project for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00 and the tender deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. Bids were evaluated equally on technical quality and cost: technical evaluations carried 50% and commercial evaluations carried 50%. The contract was awarded to A M S Heating & Plumbing Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and is active. Its contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The signed contract value is £161,763.85 excluding VAT, or £194,116.62 including VAT. The tender’s estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for a complete replacement heating-boiler solution in a primary-school setting, combining equipment supply with installation and heating works. A credible future competitor would need practical heating and plumbing capability, experience selecting and installing central-heating boilers, and the capacity to deliver a defined school project safely and efficiently within a short programme. The evaluation approach also shows that technical quality mattered as much as commercial pricing, so suppliers would need to explain their delivery method clearly as well as submit competitive, accurate pricing. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller capable firms could compete directly rather than relying on large-contractor scale.
