UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London is buying works to replace the central heating boiler plant and equipment at Barnet Army Reserve Centre, St Albans Road, Barnet. The centre is a drill hall and amenities used by reserve and transport units. The existing basement plantroom supplies heating and domestic hot water throughout the site. The works include installing communal boilers and replacement pumps, replacing the existing gas-fired boiler plant and associated equipment, and connecting to the existing system, including its hot-water storage and flue arrangement. This is boiler installation and heating-system replacement work (CPV 45331110). Delivery is at the Army Reserve Centre in Barnet.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, restricted to suppliers it had invited. Enquiries were due by 1 October 2026 at 5pm, and bids by 12 October 2026 at 2pm. The estimated value is £170,000 excluding VAT (£204,000 including VAT). The contract period is 9 November 2026 to 22 January 2027, with a possible extension to 19 March 2027. There is one lot, suitable for SMEs. Evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. The stated renewal option may be used if further locations are identified as critical and the same scope of requirements applies.

This opportunity suits heating and mechanical-services contractors able to replace commercial gas-fired boiler plant and associated equipment in an existing building. Relevant capability includes installing communal boilers and pumps in a basement plantroom, integrating them with existing domestic hot-water and heating systems, and working with storage calorifiers, expansion vessels, controls and a flue routed through an existing chimney to roof level. The single-lot scope is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Participation is limited to suppliers already onboarded to both the Central Digital Platform and the buyer’s Symphony finance system. Only invited suppliers are to attend the site open day, and submissions from other suppliers will not be evaluated. Quality carries greater weight than price, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a strong technical and delivery approach.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GL RFCA Barnet ARC Boiler Replacement

Notice Description

Below threshold procurement - by invitation only. Due to the urgent on-site need for these works, we are only inviting bids from suppliers who are on-boarded to both the Central Digital Platform and our own finance system, Symphony. This is intended to avoid delaying the delivery of the works, as the on-boarding process can take some time. Only those invited suppliers will be asked to attend a site open day, and only submissions from those invited will be evaluated. All others will be disregarded, not opened or evaluated. This project consists of the replacement of the existing central heating boiler plant and equipment at Army Reserve Centre, St Albans Rd., Barnet EN5 4JX. Barnet Army Reserve Centre is a drill hall and associated amenities currently used by 118 Close Support Company and 240 Transport Squadron in St Albans Rd., Barnet. The building was designed and completed in 1937. The complex was used continuously by reserve and transport units since World War II. The existing boiler installation was undertaken in the early 2000's. There is a main plantroom room in the basement that provides domestic hot water and heating to all the facilities in Barnet Army Reserve Centre. Cold water storage tanks on the roof provide a cold water supply to the bathrooms and to the hot water calorifiers. The existing plant consists of 3 No. Ideal Commercial Concord CXA 120 gas fired boilers, 2 No. hot water storage calorifiers fed from the heating system, associated pumps, expansion vessels and controls. The boiler flue routes through an existing chimney to discharge at roof level. New communal boilers and replacement pumps are to be provided in the basement plantroom.
