Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council is procuring a main contractor to design and build a low-carbon heating upgrade at Ysgol Cynwyd Sant Primary School in Bridgend. The works centre on installing low-carbon heating systems, including heating plant, heat pumps, electrical and plumbing installation, and commissioning. The requirement combines building works with heating engineering and installation services in an education setting. The contractor will be responsible for the main design-and-build delivery rather than supplying equipment alone. The council is the buying organisation, and the work will take place at the primary school. The award is conditional on planning approval, so suppliers should be able to account for planning-related dependencies within their mobilisation and delivery approach.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 3 August 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were due by 10 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the eTenderWales Jaggaer portal. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £145,477.08 excluding VAT or £174,572.48 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option to extend by up to six months, to 30 September 2027. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality, with the quality element described as technical. Selection requirements are set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits a main contractor with proven design-and-build capability for low-carbon heating upgrades in buildings, particularly schools or other occupied education environments. Relevant expertise includes heat-pump and heating-system design, mechanical and electrical installation, plumbing, heating controls, commissioning and integration of the completed system. Suppliers should also be able to manage construction interfaces, planning dependencies, site safety and coordination with a school environment. The scope may require collaboration across heating engineering, electrical and building trades, so an integrated delivery team or reliable specialist subcontractors would be well placed. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Detailed selection requirements are in the tender documents.
