UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured works at Brookfield Community School to replace the underground heating pipework between the boiler room and school block B. The scope covers isolating and disconnecting the existing pipework, creating a new trench, installing pre-insulated pipework, connecting it to the existing school systems with new isolation valves, and installing a spare duct with draw cord. It also includes backfilling and reinstating surfaces, constructing brick service-entry enclosures, and filling, dosing and recommissioning the heating system. Mechanical work is to be carried out by a mechanical subcontractor, with details provided by the council. The main category is mechanical engineering installation works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective, below-threshold route under a framework, without a competitive process. One lot was awarded to VDL Southern Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 10 August to 11 September 2026. Its value is £92,195 excluding VAT, or £110,634 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement is planned for delivery during the school summer break, reflecting the need to isolate heating infrastructure and complete trenching, connections, reinstatement and recommissioning within a defined school closure period. Hampshire County Council is the buyer and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Waterlooville.

This award indicates demand for specialist mechanical and heating infrastructure works in a school environment, particularly replacement of buried heating pipework and associated civil and building work. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements from Hampshire County Council would need practical capability in isolating existing heating systems, excavation and trench construction, installation of pre-insulated pipework, valve connections, spare ducting, backfilling and surface reinstatement. Experience of constructing brick service-entry enclosures and recommissioning, filling and dosing heating systems would also be relevant. A credible delivery model may require access to mechanical subcontracting expertise, as the council identifies mechanical subcontractor involvement in the works. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this scale of requirement can suit an established specialist contractor.
