Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council procured works to replace the boilers at Garswood Primary School. The requirement covers boiler installation and associated primary school construction work, with the purpose of replacing the school’s existing boiler provision. The work is for a public-sector education site in Garswood, within the St Helens area. It is a building services and mechanical engineering opportunity, relevant to contractors that deliver commercial heating replacements, boiler installation and related construction works in schools or similar occupied public buildings. The procurement covered one requirement for the school rather than a broader programme of sites. The classification includes CPV 42160000 for boiler installations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. St Helens Council awarded the work to SENATE MECH LIMITED, an SME, on 31 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 31 July to 27 August 2026. Its value is £111,529.46 excluding VAT, or £133,835.35 including VAT. The process used one lot, which was completed, and the award is active. The available procurement information identifies limited competition as the route used; the requirement was treated as works and was below the relevant threshold. The award covered the full boiler replacement requirement for Garswood Primary School.

This award indicates demand from St Helens Council for specialist mechanical and building-services contractors able to deliver boiler replacement works in a primary-school environment. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of diagnosing and replacing boiler systems, coordinating installation works, and completing construction activity safely within an education setting. Relevant capability includes managing site access, sequencing work around school operations, arranging competent installation labour, and handing over a functioning heating system to the client. The successful supplier’s SME status also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses with a proven record in public-sector or education-site heating projects would be well placed to monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
