UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured works to upgrade ventilation at Rachel Madocks School. The requirement covers replacing the existing Hydropool air-handling unit with a new Dantherm air-handling unit, together with minor pipework modifications within the plantroom. The work is classified as mechanical engineering installation works and falls within the works category. Delivery is at the school, for the council’s education estate. The project is a focused mechanical-services upgrade rather than a broad facilities-management contract, so it is most relevant to businesses that install, replace or modify air-handling and associated mechanical systems in operational school buildings. The stated working arrangement required the works to be carried out during the school summer holiday, indicating a need to plan site activity around a fixed educational shutdown period.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EDGAR AND WOOD MECHANICAL SERVICES LIMITED. It used a selective procedure, with the procurement method described as a below-threshold award under a framework; the call-off was non-competitive. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £65,057 excluding VAT, or £78,068 including VAT. The awarded supplier is based in Portslade. The process concerns a single defined ventilation upgrade, rather than multiple packages, and the recorded outcome is an active contract. The procurement was evaluated through the framework award route, with the published process information not setting out separate tender-stage scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist mechanical-services contractors able to deliver air-handling-unit replacement and associated plantroom pipework modifications in a school environment. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience installing or replacing air-handling equipment, integrating new units with existing mechanical systems, and completing minor pipework alterations safely and efficiently. The requirement also favours firms able to work in occupied education settings, coordinate access with the school and council, and compress disruptive activity into a short holiday shutdown. Relevant businesses are likely to be established mechanical engineering installation contractors with the project management, site supervision and workforce capacity to complete a defined ventilation upgrade within a tightly controlled operational window.
