Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured works to upgrade the heating distribution system at Long Meadow School in Milton Keynes. The scope covers replacement or improvement of heating pipework and emitters, together with decommissioning of the existing underfloor-heating distribution system. The requirement falls within commercial heating installation and building-services works, including central-heating equipment, radiators, boilers and associated installation. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the school project. Delivery is at Long Meadow School in Milton Keynes. The work is therefore relevant to heating contractors, mechanical building-services firms and pipework specialists able to carry out installation, system alteration and decommissioning works in an occupied or operational school environment, subject to the detailed technical requirements in the tender documentation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at noon, with enquiries closing on 8 June 2026 at 23:59. The award was made to Perfect Pipework Limited. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August to 30 September 2026. Its value is £266,428.57 excluding VAT, or £319,714.28 including VAT. The original estimated tender value was £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. Evaluation used price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%. The procurement comprised one completed lot, and electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Milton Keynes City Council for specialist heating-distribution works in a school setting, at a substantial project scale. A competitor preparing for a future requirement of this type would need credible capability in heating pipework, emitters and central-heating systems, together with the safe decommissioning of underfloor-heating distribution. Relevant experience should include planning and delivering mechanical installation works in education or similarly operational buildings, coordinating access and maintaining safe working conditions. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was delivered by an SME rather than only a large national contractor. Strong technical quality evidence would matter alongside competitive pricing, because quality formed 30% of the evaluation.
