Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is procuring works to remove the existing boilers and replace the boiler plant at Prudhoe Waterworld, Front Street, Prudhoe, Northumberland, NE42 5DQ. The requirement is a construction and mechanical building-services project focused on boiler replacement at a leisure facility. The appointed contractor will carry out the works described in the Mechanical Services Specification, including its Section 1, item 3, Scope of Works. The procurement is for one lot and the council is the public-sector buyer. The delivery location is Prudhoe Waterworld in Northumberland. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors that undertake commercial boiler plant replacement, mechanical services or related construction works in operational public buildings.

The procurement has reached tender: Northumberland County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed. The deadline for enquiries was 11 August 2026 at 16:00, and the tender submission deadline is 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 September 2026 to 9 November 2026. Its estimated value is £180,000 excluding VAT, or £216,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with the same estimated value. The award decision is based on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is for works and is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized contractors with practical capability in removing existing boilers and installing replacement boiler plant. It is particularly relevant to firms delivering mechanical services, commercial heating work or construction work involving plant replacement in leisure or other public buildings. The requirement gives specialist boiler and mechanical-services contractors a defined project rather than a broad multi-site programme. Suppliers should be able to take responsibility for the specified scope of works at Prudhoe Waterworld and compete on both price and quality. The evaluation balance means bidders need to present a credible quality offer as well as competitive pricing. The stated SME suitability makes the opportunity relevant to smaller contractors, specialist firms and suitable delivery partnerships.
