Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned works at Fairisle Infants and Nursery School in Southampton, SO16 8BY. The requirement was to supply, install, test and commission a new heating system using air-source heat pumps, together with new domestic hot-water supply systems. The scope also included operating and maintenance instructions, record information and a building logbook, enabling the school to manage and operate the new mechanical services. This is mainly central-heating installation work, with an electrical installation element. The delivery site is the school complex in Southampton. The requirement is for a complete mechanical-services installation rather than the supply of equipment alone, and includes commissioning and handover documentation.

The procurement is complete and an award is active. Southampton City Council used a closed competitive request-for-quotation process without prior publication of a competition notice, under its contract procedure rules for works below the applicable threshold. Five pre-qualified providers were invited and three submitted bids. Evaluation was based on quality weighted at 40% and price at 60%. Corrigenda Limited was awarded the contract for £645,326 excluding any unspecified tax treatment. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The tender record shows the single lot as cancelled, although the associated award is recorded as active and the contract as active. No contract duration or award date is provided.

This award indicates demand from Southampton City Council for integrated heating and domestic-hot-water replacement in an education setting, with air-source heat-pump capability and responsibility for the full installation lifecycle. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage mechanical and associated electrical installation, testing, commissioning and operational handover as one coordinated package. Experience working safely and reliably in a school or other occupied public building would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to produce accurate operating and maintenance instructions, record information and a building logbook. The route also favours suppliers that can meet pre-qualification requirements and compete on both technical quality and price in a closed quotation process.
