Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured construction works to replace the heating system at Mayfield Community Primary School. The requirement covered replacing the existing oil-fired boilers with a like-for-like oil boiler, together with an air source heat pump (ASHP) serving the underfloor heating system. The work is therefore relevant to mechanical and building-services contractors able to design, supply, install and commission commercial heating equipment in a school environment. Delivery is at Mayfield Community Primary School in Mayfield, East Sussex. The procurement was for works rather than a general maintenance service, and its scope centres on boiler replacement and integration with underfloor heating. The council is the buyer and the selected supplier was Edgar and Wood Mechanical Services Limited, a Brighton-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. East Sussex County Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, described as a mini-competition under a PCR 2015 framework lot. The single lot was evaluated on price and included an option to extend the works programme if timescales required it. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 for £163,091.58, including the currency stated as GBP. Six bids were received, all from small or medium-sized enterprises, and all were submitted electronically. The selected supplier is Edgar and Wood Mechanical Services Limited. The tender is recorded as complete; the underlying lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need practical commercial heating and mechanical-services capability, including replacement of oil-fired boilers and installation or integration of air source heat pumps for underfloor heating. Experience working in occupied or operational schools would help demonstrate the ability to manage site safety, access, sequencing and disruption around school activities. Contractors should also be able to deliver a defined replacement works programme and adjust it where necessary, while maintaining clear communication with the council. The outcome shows that a small or medium-sized specialist contractor can compete for this scale of school heating project. Because the evaluation was based on price, competitive cost control, accurate scoping and reliable delivery planning would be central to a credible offer through the relevant framework route.
