Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is procuring works to renew the gas-fired heating boilers at The Beeches Primary School on Beech Avenue, Peterborough. The requirement covers refurbishment and replacement of the existing boiler plant in two plantrooms serving the school. The works include removing the existing MHS Stratus boilers and redundant equipment, then installing Ideal or Hamworthy Evomax 2 modular boiler systems with new frames and header arrangements, plate heat exchangers, integrated controls, flue systems and ancillary equipment. The contractor must also complete commissioning, testing and handover. This is a school heating upgrade and falls within the heating works category. Delivery is at The Beeches Primary School, Peterborough, in England.

The process reached tender: Peterborough City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot procurement with an estimated value of £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. Tenders were to be submitted electronically through ProContract by 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period set by the council runs from 7 October 2026 to 18 November 2026. Evaluation is sequential. Bids are assessed first against qualitative criteria and must achieve at least 65% out of 100% for quality. Only bids meeting that threshold proceed to price assessment. The contract is awarded to the lowest-priced tender that meets or exceeds the 65% minimum quality threshold.

This opportunity suits heating and mechanical services contractors with practical experience replacing commercial gas boiler plant in occupied or operational educational buildings. Relevant capability includes safely removing redundant boilers and associated equipment, installing modular Ideal or Hamworthy Evomax 2 systems, and delivering compatible frames, headers, plate heat exchangers, controls integration, flues and ancillary equipment. Suppliers must be able to manage commissioning, testing and formal handover so that the school’s heating installation is ready for use. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist regional firms as well as larger mechanical contractors. Businesses should be comfortable demonstrating technical quality before competing primarily on price.
