Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council commissioned works at Westcliff Adult Community Centre to replace its two main boilers and re-pipe the low-loss header. The purpose is to improve hot-water flow within the centre. This is mechanical and heating-services work, including boiler installation and associated pipework. The requirement is for a single completed lot. The work is for the Council’s community facility in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, making local heating, plumbing and building-services contractors particularly relevant. Suppliers able to manage boiler replacement, connect new plant to existing systems and modify the low-loss header would match the core requirement. The scope is focused on an urgent plant replacement rather than a broad facilities-management service.

This procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is complete. Southend-on-Sea City Council used a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. R & A Mechanical Services Ltd was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract value is £72,000 excluding VAT and £86,400 including VAT. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 15 September 2026. The award covers boiler installation works and relates to the replacement of two main boilers and re-piping of the low-loss header. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier for the requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for commercial boiler replacement and associated heating-system pipework at a council community facility. A credible future competitor would need practical experience replacing existing boiler plant, integrating new equipment with live building services and re-piping low-loss headers to improve hot-water circulation. Relevant firms are likely to be mechanical-services or commercial-heating contractors able to deliver short, urgent works with their own suitably qualified engineers, safe isolation procedures and commissioning capability. Experience in public buildings or occupied community facilities would help demonstrate an understanding of access, safety and continuity requirements. Smaller specialist businesses may be well placed where they can evidence comparable boiler installations, coordinated pipework alterations and reliable delivery of compact works packages for local authorities.
