Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured boiler replacement works at Pashley Down Infant School in East Sussex. The requirement was to remove the existing oil-fired boiler and install a dual-fuel boiler that can be adapted to run on gas in the future. This is a construction and mechanical-services project involving commercial heating-system replacement, future fuel flexibility and work in an operational infant-school setting. The buyer is East Sussex County Council, based in Lewes. The selected supplier, T.S.S. Facilities Limited, is based in Brighton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is focused on the school’s boiler installation rather than wider building refurbishment, general facilities management or an unspecified heating programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited mini-competition under a PCR15 Framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Price was the sole stated evaluation criterion. The requirement was arranged as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled. The award itself is active and was made to T.S.S. Facilities Limited. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and is active, with a value of £151,269.61. The process received six bids, all from SMEs, submitted electronically. The procurement included an option to extend the programme timescales where necessary. No separate contract end date or duration is stated.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for specialist commercial boiler replacement in a school environment, with a need to replace oil-fired equipment while providing future compatibility with gas. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need practical experience of heating-system replacement, dual-fuel boiler installation and adapting plant for a later fuel change. It would also need to plan and deliver construction or mechanical works safely in an education setting, where coordination, access, disruption control and reliable commissioning matter. The route used was a framework mini-competition, and the award was decided on price alone. The winning supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of work can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller facilities or mechanical-services business.
