Summary of the contracting process

The University of Winchester commissioned works to replace the building management system at the King Alfred Centre in Hampshire. The existing system had reached the end of its service life. The replacement remains based on Priva BMS technology and upgrades the controllers to the latest Blue ID units, replacing obsolete HX controllers. The requirement covers building installation work, repair and maintenance of building installations, and energy-management services. It was procured through Lot 1.1 of the SBS 10166 framework for Building Management Systems. The work is for a university public authority and is focused on a specific campus building rather than a wider estate-wide programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 6 July 2026 to Kendra Energy Solutions Limited, an SME. The below-threshold procedure was recorded as having an unknown method. The award covers one framework lot and is valued at £67,419.96 excluding VAT, or £80,903.95 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 August 2026. The selected supplier is responsible for the King Alfred Centre BMS upgrade. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 20 August 2026. The published outcome identifies the award as active, while the wider tender is recorded as complete. No award-specific evaluation criteria are stated.

This outcome indicates demand from the University of Winchester for specialist building management system upgrade work within an occupied or operational university environment. Suppliers would need practical capability in replacing end-of-life BMS infrastructure, configuring or installing Priva-based systems, and upgrading from obsolete HX controllers to Blue ID controllers. Relevant experience should also cover building installation, maintenance of building services, and energy-management functions, since these were the associated work categories. The requirement was delivered through a named SBS 10166 framework lot, so businesses seeking similar work should understand framework-based routes and the expectations of a public-sector university buyer. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate focused BMS delivery capability rather than general construction capacity alone.
