Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured boiler replacement works at Park Mead Primary School. The requirement is classified as construction work and covers the replacement of the school’s boiler system, with a programme of works that may require extension. Delivery is associated with Park Mead Primary School in East Sussex. This is a building-services and mechanical works opportunity for contractors able to plan and carry out boiler replacement in an occupied or operational school environment. The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the procurement. The selected supplier, T.S.S. Facilities Limited, is based in Brighton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was treated as works rather than goods or general services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. East Sussex County Council used a limited mini-competition under a PCR15 Works Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The single lot was evaluated on price. Five bids were received; all five were from SMEs and submitted electronically. The award was made to T.S.S. Facilities Limited. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and has a value of £160,323.29. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. An option was included because the programme of works may need to be extended. The published outcome records the lot as cancelled while also recording an active award and active contract.

This procurement demonstrates demand from East Sussex County Council for specialist boiler replacement works in a primary-school setting, delivered through a public-sector works framework mini-competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in commercial or public-building heating systems, boiler replacement, associated mechanical installation and safe delivery within a school environment. Experience of managing phased programmes and adapting to an extended programme would be relevant. The competition attracted five electronically submitted bids, all from SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors can compete for this type of council works package. Suppliers should also be comfortable with framework call-offs, price-led evaluation, electronic tendering and the compliance, planning and site-management standards expected for education premises.
