UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured works at Willesborough Infant School to replace the boiler and complete the heating plantroom. The scope included replacing the complete heating plantroom and converting the school’s heating system from oil to natural gas. This is a building-services and heating installation project, covering boiler replacement, plantroom works and associated heating-system conversion. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, a public authority responsible for the requirement. The work is tied specifically to Willesborough Infant School, so suppliers serving school estates or public-sector buildings in this area would find the project most relevant. The requirement sits within heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work, with the main emphasis on boiler and heating plantroom replacement.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage: the tender is complete, an award remains active and the contract is active. Kent County Council selected GJM Southern Group Limited, an SME, for the single lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and ran from 29 June 2026 to 3 July 2026. Its value was £113,410 excluding VAT and £136,092 including VAT. The procurement was conducted as a below-threshold process. The requirement was treated as works rather than goods or services. The published outcome records the award against heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work. No award date or evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This outcome is useful evidence for heating and mechanical-services contractors that work on education buildings and public-sector estates. A credible competitor for this type of requirement would need to replace boilers, renew complete heating plantrooms and manage a conversion from oil heating to natural gas. The work also suits an SME with the practical delivery capability to complete a focused school refurbishment project within a short contract period. Suppliers preparing for comparable Kent County Council requirements should be able to demonstrate experience of heating-system upgrades, plantroom installation, fuel-system conversion and safe coordination in an occupied or operational school environment. The buyer’s selection of an SME also indicates that this scale of specialist works can be delivered by smaller firms.
