Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council commissioned specialist commercial pipe lagging for school boiler house replacement schemes. The work forms part of a wider programme to replace boiler houses at schools and involves insulating commercial pipework associated with boiler installation. Delivery is in Sunderland, within the council’s area. This is a public-sector works requirement rather than a general maintenance or supply contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be contractors able to carry out specialist pipe lagging and insulation work in commercial boiler house environments, particularly where the work must be coordinated with boiler house replacement activity. The buyer is Sunderland City Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for the school schemes and the associated procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The award was made to Insulation Contractors Limited on 24 July 2026, and the contract is active. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 9 October 2026. One award covers the boiler house replacement project’s pipe lagging works. The requirement was evaluated and placed through direct award rather than an open tender. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is recorded as works and is associated with boiler installation work under CPV 45331110.

This award shows that Sunderland City Council buys specialist commercial pipe lagging as a distinct work package within school boiler house replacement schemes. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in commercial pipe insulation and lagging, with the capacity to work within a short, defined delivery programme and alongside wider boiler house replacement activity. Experience of working in schools or other occupied or operational public buildings would be commercially relevant where it supports safe coordination, although the award does not state a specific accreditation or qualification requirement. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of specialist package can be delivered by a focused contractor rather than only by a large national construction business.
