The procurement process initiated by Southend-on-Sea City Council, a public authority under sub-central government, involved the urgent replacement of boilers at Fairways Primary School, including all associated works. This process falls under the 'works' industry category, specifically targeting boiler installation work. The tender was completed under a "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method, and the contract, valued at £98,000, was awarded to R & A Mechanical Services LTD.
