UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council procured works to replace two boilers at Fairways Primary School, including all associated works. The requirement is categorised as boiler installation work and is intended to restore or maintain the school’s heating infrastructure. Delivery is in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. This is a local-authority building-services requirement rather than a supply-only purchase: relevant businesses would need to undertake the physical replacement works and associated mechanical activities at the school. The named buyer is Southend-on-Sea City Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement covered one package of works for the school, with the requirement centred on replacing the existing boilers rather than providing a wider heating-service arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Southend-on-Sea City Council selected R & A Mechanical Services Ltd, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £98,000 excluding VAT and £117,600 including VAT. The tender was conducted as a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. One lot was completed and awarded. The underlying requirement was described as urgent. The award is active and the contract is active, so the recorded outcome is a live contract rather than a cancelled or unsuccessful procurement. The published requirement identified two boilers and associated works as the scope.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Southend-on-Sea City Council for urgent boiler replacement in a primary-school setting. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical capability in commercial or public-building boiler installation, together with the capacity to remove and replace two boilers and complete associated mechanical works within a short delivery programme. Experience working safely in education premises would help a supplier manage access, disruption, safeguarding and coordination with the school and council. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller mechanical-services business can deliver this type of local-authority works package. Relevant firms should be able to evidence competent engineers, reliable equipment sourcing, project management and completion of comparable heating replacement work.
