UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured heating works at Bidston Village CE Primary School (Infant and Junior) in Wirral. The requirement was to install a replacement heating system, including new ceiling-mounted fan convector heaters fixed to the ceiling and new mild steel pipework where required. The work is classified as heating works and is for the school site in Bidston, Wirral, postal area CH43 7XN. The buying organisation is Wirral Council, a local public authority. This opportunity is relevant to mechanical and building-services contractors able to deliver heating-system replacement and associated pipework installation in an occupied or operational education setting, subject to the detailed technical and site requirements established for the works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SENATE MECH LIMITED for the single works lot. The award was made on 20 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £287,122.06 excluding VAT, or £344,546.47 including VAT. Wirral Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award records the successful supplier and relates to the full requirement for the replacement heating system, fan convector heaters and mild steel pipework. The resulting contract is active, and the procurement status is complete.

This procurement shows demand from Wirral Council for substantial school heating-system replacement works delivered within a defined programme. A credible competitor for similar future requirements would need practical capability in commercial or public-sector heating installations, including fitting ceiling-mounted fan convector heaters and installing or adapting mild steel pipework. Experience coordinating mechanical works in a primary-school environment would be relevant, particularly where delivery must be carefully managed around staff, pupils, safeguarding arrangements and existing building services. Firms with the capacity to resource a complete replacement system, manage installation to specification and complete associated pipework within a short works programme would be well placed. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of council works can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller specialist contractor.
