UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust, through the Diocese of Norwich Education Services Company, procured works for Catfield C of E Primary Academy. The requirement was to upgrade the academy’s plantroom and provide an adequate heating system, including boiler installation work (CPV 45331110). The work is classified as construction works and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a facilities and building-services opportunity for contractors able to undertake heating-system upgrades in an education setting. The requirement concerns the plantroom and associated heating infrastructure rather than routine maintenance or general building services. The trust is the buying organisation, with the works intended for the primary academy it identified.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition with one lot. The tender’s estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The contract was awarded to BRUCE TOWERS AND SONS LIMITED on 31 July 2026 and signed the same day. The awarded contract value is £64,901.90 excluding VAT (£77,882.28 including VAT). The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 1 October 2026. Evaluation gave 60% to price and 40% to quality. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Electronic bid submission was allowed, and enquiries closed on 23 July 2026, with tender submissions closing on 24 July 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from the Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust for specialist heating and plantroom improvement works in a primary-school environment. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in boiler installation, heating-system upgrades and plantroom works, together with the capacity to complete a defined school project safely and to a suitable quality standard. The evaluation balance shows that both technical quality and price matter, so suppliers would need a clear delivery approach as well as competitive cost control. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist contractors can be relevant when they can demonstrate the necessary competence, resources and education-site experience.
