Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured replacement boiler installations at Oakfield Primary School. The requirement is for goods and associated installation work to replace the school’s boiler system, under the plain-language category of boiler installation. The council is a sub-central public authority based in Scunthorpe and is the organisation buying the works. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and awarded to one supplier. The procurement concerns a specific education-site heating replacement rather than a general building maintenance service, so it is most relevant to businesses that supply and install commercial or institutional boilers and can work safely in a primary school environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. North Lincolnshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, rather than an open tender. ACUMEN SOLUTIONS LIMITED was selected as supplier and the contract was signed on 14 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £44,737.43 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 December 2026. The award covers the single lot for the boiler replacement at Oakfield Primary School. The published outcome identifies boiler installations as the relevant classification. The process used a non-competitive route, so there is no competitive evaluation basis recorded for comparing bids.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it gives heating and mechanical-services businesses a clear example of North Lincolnshire Council’s demand for school boiler replacement work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in commercial boiler supply and installation, together with the project management capacity to complete a defined replacement at an operational primary school. Relevant experience in education or other public-sector premises would help demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding, site access, safety controls and minimising disruption. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of council requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business rather than only by a national contractor.
