UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council commissioned works to upgrade the building management system at The Forum in Southend-on-Sea. The requirement covers replacing the ground-floor plant-room panel building management systems and installing input/output modules to control equipment in the basement plant room. This is building-services installation work involving heating and other electrical building equipment, classified under CPV 45315000. The council is both the buyer and the organisation responsible for the procurement. Delivery is at The Forum, Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors providing building management system upgrades, plant-room controls, electrical building-services installation and associated commissioning work in public or commercial buildings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. R & A Mechanical Services Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. The contract value is £35,600 excluding VAT and £42,720 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 September 2026. The awarded work covers the Forum BMS upgrade, including the replacement panel and input/output modules described in the requirement. The published information identifies the procurement as works and records the successful supplier as an SME. No separate award date or detailed scoring basis is provided in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist building management system and plant-room control work at a civic or public-facing building. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would be mechanical and electrical building-services contractors able to replace BMS control panels, install input/output modules and integrate controls with basement and ground-floor plant equipment. Practical capability in heating and other electrical building equipment is directly relevant. Competitors would need to demonstrate that they can plan and deliver a concentrated plant-room installation, coordinate work within an occupied public building where required, and complete testing and commissioning efficiently. The successful supplier's SME status also indicates that a smaller specialist contractor can undertake this scale of council building-services work.
