Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council procured a low-carbon heating upgrade at Archdeacon John Lewis Primary School in Bridgend. The works cover central-heating and electrical installations, heat-pump and solar photovoltaic equipment, heating engineering, commissioning, plumbing and associated school-building work. The scope also includes windows, doors and their installation. This is a building services and energy-efficiency project, combining heating replacement or improvement with related construction and installation activities. Delivery is in the Bridgend area of Wales, for the council as the public-sector buyer. The opportunity is relevant to contractors able to deliver integrated low-carbon heating and building upgrade works in an operating or educational premises environment, including firms with heating, electrical, renewable-energy and general construction capability.

The procurement was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated using 60% price and 40% quality, with technical quality accounting for the quality element; detailed selection requirements were set out in the tender documents. The tender closed on 28 July 2026 at 12:00, after enquiries closed on 21 July 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value was £646,207 excluding VAT, or £775,448 including VAT. Bridgend County Borough Council awarded the contract to Neath Construction Limited on 18 August 2026. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is valued at £636,149 excluding VAT, or £763,378 including VAT. It runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by up to six months, to 31 August 2027.

This award demonstrates demand from Bridgend County Borough Council for substantial, integrated energy-efficiency works in a primary-school setting. A credible future competitor would need to combine low-carbon heating delivery with the associated electrical, solar photovoltaic, plumbing, building fabric and construction activities, or manage these capabilities through a reliable delivery team. Relevant experience should include installing and commissioning heating systems and heat pumps, coordinating multiple building trades, and delivering work safely in an educational environment. The evaluation shows that technical quality matters alongside price, so suppliers would need to evidence a robust methodology, competent personnel, quality assurance and practical management of delivery risks. The contract was won by an SME, indicating that this scale of council works can be delivered by suitably capable smaller contractors.
