UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England required specialist services to clean and flush its low-temperature hot-water (LTHW) system, in line with quotation QI-064920. This is a building-services and central-heating maintenance requirement, covering the system-cleaning work rather than a wider construction project. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The awarded service is classified under CPV 50720000, covering repair and maintenance services for central heating. The work is associated with the University’s estate and its operational heating infrastructure, so relevant businesses are those able to undertake planned or responsive water-system cleaning and flushing in a higher-education or comparable institutional environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under the below-threshold route. Concept Environmental Solutions Limited, a Manchester-based SME, was selected on 13 June 2026. The contract was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 13 to 14 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,041.94 excluding VAT, or £33,650.33 including VAT. One service lot was completed and awarded to the same supplier. The award was for services evaluated through the direct-award process rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, and the award is recorded as active. The requirement therefore represents a completed, short-duration maintenance engagement for the University of the West of England.

This procurement indicates demand from the University of the West of England for specialist contractors able to clean and flush low-temperature hot-water systems serving an institutional estate. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would have practical expertise in central-heating and LTHW system maintenance, including safe system cleaning, flushing and associated operational checks. Credibility would be strengthened by experience delivering technically controlled work in universities, hospitals, commercial buildings or other complex occupied premises, where continuity of heating services and site coordination matter. A capable competitor would also need to interpret a defined technical quotation, mobilise efficiently for a short intervention, and provide suitable evidence of competence, quality control and safe working arrangements. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this scale can suit a focused specialist rather than only a major facilities contractor.
