Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is procuring works at Woolley Wood School involving the removal of redundant air source heat pumps from the school roof and installation of replacement heat pumps and associated plant. The plant will be housed in a newly constructed enclosure, including contractor-designed acoustic fencing. The external works include construction of a retaining wall with guardrail and pedestrian access footpaths. This is a building-services and construction requirement covering heat-pump replacement, mechanical and electrical equipment installation, mechanical engineering works and associated external works. The procurement is categorised as works, with heat pumps and mechanical installations forming the main technical scope. Delivery is in the Sheffield area for the council’s school estate.

The process reached tender: Sheffield City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 14 August 2026 at 15:00, and the tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The planned contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 14 May 2027. The estimated value is £450,000 excluding VAT, or £540,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Award is based entirely on price, weighted at 100%. Bids may be submitted electronically through the council’s specified online tendering route. Participation requirements are set out in the Suitability Assessment, Instructions to Tenderers and Tender Documentation.

This opportunity suits an SME contractor able to deliver integrated heat-pump replacement and mechanical installation works in a school setting. Relevant capability includes removing existing roof-mounted air source heat pumps, installing new heat pumps and associated plant, and coordinating mechanical engineering and electrical equipment installation. The successful supplier will also need to deliver construction elements around the plant enclosure, including acoustic fencing designed by the contractor, a retaining wall with guardrail and pedestrian access footpaths. It is therefore suited to a building-services or mechanical engineering business with suitable construction capacity, or a contractor able to manage these disciplines together. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the requirements in the suitability assessment and tender documents.
