UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council procured works to install a new building management system (BMS) as part of a boiler house replacement project. The work covers Richard Avenue Primary School and Washington Community Resource Centre in Sunderland. The requirement concerns boiler installation-related works, including controls and monitoring associated with the boiler houses. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is delivered at two council or community facilities in Sunderland. This is a facilities engineering and building-services opportunity for businesses able to deliver BMS installation in connection with boiler-house replacement works. The project links controls-system work with operational heating infrastructure at education and community premises, rather than covering general building refurbishment or unrelated information-technology services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sunderland City Council used a direct award below the threshold without competition. One lot was awarded to W.S. Controls Limited. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026, runs from 27 July 2026 to 28 August 2026, and is valued at £53,949 excluding VAT, or £64,738 including VAT. The contract concerns the boiler house replacement project and relates to the BMS installation works at the two Sunderland locations. The selected supplier is W.S. Controls Limited, an SME based in Northumberland. No competitive evaluation basis is stated because the contract was awarded without competition.

For businesses assessing future work from Sunderland City Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist building-controls delivery tied to boiler-house replacement projects at schools and community facilities. A credible competitor would need practical capability to install and integrate BMS equipment with heating infrastructure, and to work safely and effectively in occupied public buildings. Relevant experience would include boiler installation works, controls engineering, commissioning, testing and handover of systems that support reliable operation of public facilities. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with complementary mechanical, electrical and controls expertise would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
