Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned Phase 2 of heating improvements at Kings School. The works cover replacement of heat emitters and low-pressure hot-water (LPHW) pipework in the main building, forming part of a wider heating improvement project. This is a construction and mechanical engineering installation requirement, involving the removal and installation of building heating infrastructure rather than general facilities management or routine maintenance. The named public-sector buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The requirement is associated with the Hampshire area. The awarded scope relates to one completed lot and is relevant to mechanical services contractors, heating installation specialists and firms experienced in refurbishing or upgrading heating systems in occupied or operational public buildings.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hampshire County Council used a selective, competitive route to make a below-threshold award under a framework. CEI Electrical Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. Its value is £238,080 excluding VAT, or £285,695 including VAT. The award concerns mechanical engineering installation works for the Kings School heating improvements. The process was evaluated through the competitive framework route. The contract is recorded as active, and the award to CEI Electrical Services Ltd is also active.

This procurement shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for specialist heating refurbishment delivered through a framework-based, selective competition. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in replacing heat emitters and LPHW pipework, together with the labour, supervision and installation management needed for a defined school-building project. Relevant experience in mechanical engineering installation works and public-sector or education settings would help demonstrate that the business can work safely around an operational building and deliver coordinated replacement works. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor. Framework access and the ability to respond competitively to similar heating-improvement packages would also be important.
