Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured works to upgrade the plant room at Great Linford School in Milton Keynes. The requirement covers heating equipment and central-heating installation, including boilers, radiators, associated parts and heating works. The council is the buyer and the work is for the school’s heating infrastructure. This is a building-services and mechanical-heating opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase: businesses would need to understand the installation and upgrade of central-heating systems as well as the relevant equipment. The requirement was treated as works and relates to a single plant-room upgrade. The delivery area is Milton Keynes, with the named site at Great Linford School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12 noon, with enquiries closing on 29 June 2026. Evaluation was based on quality at 25% and price at 75%. The estimated tender value was £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. Munns Limited was awarded the contract. The resulting contract was signed on 10 August 2026, has a value of £111,525 excluding VAT, or £133,830 including VAT, and runs from 10 August to 14 September 2026. The tender and lot were recorded as complete, while the contract is active. Electronic submission was allowed.

This procurement indicates demand from Milton Keynes City Council for specialist school heating upgrades combining plant-room works, central-heating equipment and installation. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in boiler and radiator systems, heating infrastructure upgrades, plant-room installation and associated mechanical works. The evaluation gives substantially greater weight to price than quality, so suppliers would need to price installation and equipment competitively while clearly demonstrating a sound technical approach. Relevant delivery experience in occupied or operational education buildings would help show that the business can manage site constraints, coordination and safe completion. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist heating contractor can be suitable for this type of council requirement.
