Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council commissioned mechanical works at Chesterton Vision Centre, covering boilers, underfloor heating and air conditioning. This is a building-services installation and improvement project within the wider construction works category. The requirement is centred on the Centre; the procurement data identifies the delivery country as the United Kingdom but gives no more specific delivery place. The named systems indicate work for suppliers able to undertake mechanical building services, including heating and air-conditioning installations. The works form one procurement lot and were awarded to a single supplier. The buying organisation is Staffordshire County Council, a local public authority. This is a specific facilities project rather than a broad maintenance programme, with the scope focused on the Centre’s boiler, underfloor heating and air-conditioning systems.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Staffordshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Fords of Blythe Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £40,184 excluding VAT and £48,221 including VAT. The award is for mechanical works, with the scope covering boilers, underfloor heating and air conditioning. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award. The buyer and supplier are based in Staffordshire, and the supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract is currently recorded as active.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work for Staffordshire County Council, this award shows demand for a focused package of mechanical building services at a public-sector premises: boilers, underfloor heating and air conditioning. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to deliver this combination of heating and cooling work, and the capacity to complete a single-site project within a defined contract period. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this purchase, and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This demonstrates that a smaller specialist firm was appointed for the requirement, although the award does not establish specific trade accreditations, technical standards or experience requirements. The commercially relevant profile is therefore a supplier able to carry out the stated mechanical works for a county council in Staffordshire.
