Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is procuring works to convert Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Helyg Primary School to air-source heat pump heating. The requirement covers the design, supply, installation, monitoring and verification of an air-source heat pump system serving heating and domestic hot water in the existing school buildings. It also includes associated building management system installation and electrical works. The work will be delivered at Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Helyg, Rising Sun Industrial Estate, Blaina, Ebbw Vale, NP13 3DQ. This is a construction and building-services opportunity suited to contractors able to deliver integrated heating, controls and electrical works in an occupied or operational education setting.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open competition using its Bravo Solutions e-tendering portal. It is a single-lot, below-threshold works contract. Clarification questions were allowed until 12 noon on 25 September 2026, and tenders were due by 12 noon on 2 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 26 March 2027, a fixed term of 21 weeks, with completion and handover required by 26 March 2027. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on 60% technical quality and 40% commercial cost. Electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits heating, mechanical-services, building-controls, electrical and construction contractors that can take responsibility for a complete air-source heat pump conversion rather than supplying equipment alone. Bidders should be able to design and install systems for space heating and domestic hot water, integrate building management controls, complete associated electrical works, and provide monitoring and verification. It is also relevant to firms with experience delivering coordinated works in schools or similar existing buildings, where installation, commissioning and handover must be managed as one project. The council identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The tender requires responses covering the selection questionnaire, method statements and pricing.
