Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured works to install and replace floor-mounted, gas-fired hot-water heaters across seven school sites in the lower eastern area of Hampshire. The scope included modifications to associated pipework, minor asbestos removal, installation of related equipment and controls, wiring, and building works in connection with the mechanical installation. This is a mechanical engineering installation requirement delivered in the education estate. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The requirement combines heating-system replacement with associated electrical, control and building-interface works, so it is relevant to contractors able to manage several linked trades while working across multiple school properties.

The procurement is complete and one lot was awarded competitively under a framework using a selective, below-threshold procedure. CEI Electrical Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 8 July 2026. The contract was signed and runs from 3 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value is £87,471 excluding VAT, or £104,965 including VAT. The successful supplier is responsible for the full requirement across the seven school sites. The published outcome identifies the award as active and the contract as active. The process used a competitive framework award rather than an open standalone tender, which is relevant to suppliers assessing the route by which Hampshire County Council purchases this type of work.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for packaged heating-upgrade works across school buildings, combining gas-fired hot-water heater installation with pipework alterations, minor asbestos removal, controls, wiring and building-interface works. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be able to coordinate mechanical and electrical installation, work safely in occupied or operational education settings, and manage multiple sites within a short delivery window. Relevant practical experience includes replacing floor-mounted gas-fired hot-water equipment, integrating controls and associated wiring, modifying existing services, and arranging competent asbestos-removal support where required. Contractors with the organisational capacity to deliver a coordinated multi-site programme, while maintaining school-site safety and programme control, would be credible competitors for this buyer’s comparable work.
