UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured works to install a heat pump at Abingdon Children and Family Centre. The requirement covered heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work, classified under CPV 45331000, delivered at the children and family centre in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It was structured as a single works requirement under a JCT 2024 Minor Works contract. The buying organisation is Oxfordshire County Council, the local authority responsible for the facility. This opportunity is relevant to contractors specialising in heat-pump systems, commercial heating installation and associated mechanical building-services works, particularly those able to undertake installation work in an operational public or community building. The successful delivery model was a single-site installation rather than a multi-location or framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Inside Out Developments Ltd. The award was active and the contract was signed on 9 September 2025. The contract period ran from 13 October 2025 to 16 January 2026. Its value was £210,466.84 excluding VAT, or £252,560.21 including VAT. The evaluation basis and detailed scoring criteria are not stated in the available procurement information. The tender comprised one lot, covering the complete heat-pump installation requirement. The contract was awarded under the 2023/54 legal basis and used a JCT 2024 Minor Works form. The outcome indicates that the council selected a single contractor for the works rather than splitting delivery between multiple suppliers.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for firms tracking Oxfordshire County Council’s demand for public-building decarbonisation and heating upgrades. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need demonstrable heat-pump installation capability, broader HVAC and mechanical-services competence, and the workforce and supply-chain capacity to deliver a substantial single-site works package. Experience working under JCT minor works terms would be relevant, as would the ability to manage installation safely in a children’s and family-service setting. Contractors should be able to evidence reliable project delivery, coordination with a public-sector client, commissioning and handover of installed heating equipment, and the organisational capacity expected of a larger delivery business. The requirement is most relevant to established building-services or renewable-heating contractors rather than general suppliers.
