Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen procured boiler and heating replacement works at Holy Trinity School in Blackburn. The requirement covered installation of replacement boiler systems and associated construction work, classified under boiler installations and construction work. The work was for a school premises, with delivery in Blackburn. Blackburn with Darwen acted as the buying organisation. The procurement was a single works requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and its purpose was to replace the school’s existing boiler and heating provision. Suppliers relevant to this type of opportunity include heating contractors and building services firms able to undertake boiler replacement, associated construction activity and work within an operational or education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Lancashire Gas Services Limited, an SME. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 2 June 2025 and ran from 21 July 2025 to 31 August 2025. Its value was £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT. The award covered the single boiler and heating replacement requirement at Holy Trinity School. The contract remains recorded as active, while the stated delivery period has ended. The published outcome shows that Blackburn with Darwen selected one supplier for the works, following a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender or evaluation against competing bids.

This procurement shows Blackburn with Darwen’s demand for substantial school boiler and heating replacement works, delivered as a standalone works contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical expertise in boiler installation, heating-system replacement and associated construction work. It would also need the operational capacity to manage a sizeable school refurbishment project, coordinate installation activity and complete works within a defined delivery window. Experience of working in education premises would be relevant, particularly where construction and mechanical services must be planned around the needs of a school. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller contractor can be suitable for this buyer’s requirement and procurement route.
