Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "LTHW system" project was carried out by the University of the West of England, located in Bristol, United Kingdom. This tender, which focused on the healthcare and central heating maintenance industries, involved the cleaning and flushing of the Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) system. The process was in the award stage as of July 2026. It was conducted using a direct procurement method that bypassed competition, as it was below the threshold set for competitive bidding. The contract, signed on the 12th of June 2026, was valued at £28,041.94 and covered a brief period from the 13th to the 14th of June 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services of central heating systems. SMEs, particularly those offering specialised environmental solutions, are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. The winner of this tender, Concept Environmental Solutions Limited, highlights the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage with public sector bodies like universities. Future contracts with organisations such as the University of the West of England are likely to provide similar growth opportunities for capable suppliers in the facilities and environmental services sectors.
