Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council procured specialist commercial flue replacement works for its School and Civic Buildings Boiler House replacement scheme. The requirement covers works associated with replacing flue systems serving boiler-house facilities, with the related classification describing boiler installation work. Delivery is in Sunderland, supporting the Council’s school and civic building estate. This is a public-sector building-services and mechanical engineering requirement, relevant to contractors experienced in commercial boiler-house infrastructure, flue systems and associated installation works. The buyer is Sunderland City Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement concerned one complete package of works rather than a multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier was SIGRAM FLUE SYSTEMS LIMITED, based in Oldham and classified as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Sunderland City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. SIGRAM FLUE SYSTEMS LIMITED was selected for the single package. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and progressed through a non-competitive route, so there was no bid competition or comparative tender evaluation. The award is active and the contract is active. The outcome indicates a short, defined delivery period for specialist flue replacement works within the wider boiler-house replacement scheme. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sunderland City Council for specialist commercial flue replacement within school and civic building boiler-house projects. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need practical expertise in commercial flue systems, boiler installation work and the coordination of specialist mechanical works in occupied or operational public buildings. Relevant capability would include surveying existing flue arrangements, designing or selecting compliant replacement systems, removing redundant equipment, installing new systems and completing testing and handover safely. Experience of working for local authorities, schools or civic estates would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector access, safeguarding, health and safety and site coordination requirements. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a focused specialist business can undertake this scale of package.
