Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured works to replace a heating boiler and its controls at Block A of Shepton Mallet Infants school. The requirement is a school heating-system replacement and associated heating works, intended to maintain or restore suitable heating provision within the named school. Somerset Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Taunton. Delivery is at Shepton Mallet Infants school in Somerset. The procurement was structured as a single requirement covering the boiler and controls replacement. This is a building-services opportunity for heating contractors, mechanical services firms and specialist boiler engineers with the ability to work in an infant-school setting and complete heating-system works safely and effectively. The awarded supplier was a Somerset-based small and medium-sized enterprise operating in the gas sector.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made to THE SOMERSET GAS CO. LIMITED on 22 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £56,900 excluding VAT, or £68,280 including VAT. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. The award covers the single lot and is recorded as active. The procurement category is works, specifically heating works. The process did not involve a competitive tender, so suppliers were not evaluated through an open bidding exercise for this requirement. Somerset Council selected the named supplier for the school boiler and controls replacement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for commercial heating-system replacement in a Somerset school, covering both boiler installation and controls work rather than routine servicing alone. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be heating, gas, mechanical or building-services contractors able to diagnose existing systems, remove and replace boilers, install or configure controls, test the completed installation and hand it over safely. Experience working in schools or other occupied public buildings would help demonstrate the ability to manage safeguarding, access, disruption and health-and-safety requirements. A credible competitor would also need sufficient practical capacity to deliver a focused replacement project within a short programme, coordinate with the council and school, and provide appropriately qualified engineers and compliant equipment.
