Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent procured the partial replacement of 18 radiators on the command floor in the main block at Kent Police headquarters, Sutton Road, Maidstone. This is a goods requirement for central-heating radiators, involving the supply and replacement of equipment within a police headquarters building. The work is specific to the command-floor area rather than a broader heating installation or estate-wide maintenance programme. Businesses relevant to this requirement include radiator suppliers, heating contractors and building-services firms able to coordinate the removal and installation of multiple radiators in an operational public-sector premises. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing in Kent.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to L W Burt. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with the tender marked complete and one completed lot. The award was active and dated 21 July 2026. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 25 September 2026. Its value is £19,360.39 excluding VAT, or £23,231.27 including VAT. The award covers the central-heating radiator requirement. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen route and the scale of its radiator replacement requirement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for firms supplying and installing central-heating radiators for public-sector buildings. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to source suitable radiator equipment, remove existing units and complete replacement work safely and efficiently within a live police headquarters environment. Relevant capability includes coordinating a multi-unit installation, working to the buyer’s technical requirements, managing access and site controls, and completing work within an agreed short programme. The awarded supplier’s success also indicates that a larger heating, plumbing or building-services business can be competitive through a limited below-threshold competition. Firms developing a public-sector offer should be able to demonstrate dependable delivery, suitable operatives and experience of controlled operational premises.
