UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured works to install new heat emitters on the floors of C block at its Luton campus. The requirement was building heating-system installation work, intended to provide heat emitters in the specified campus building. The University was the buyer, and the work was to be carried out at the Luton campus. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the installation requirement as a whole. This is a focused mechanical and building-services project for plumbing and heating contractors with experience installing heat emitters in institutional or similar premises. The award records the work as construction works, rather than a general maintenance service or a supply-only purchase.

The process is complete and the contract was awarded to Bradbury Plumbers Ltd. The University used a below-threshold limited competition and obtained three quotes. One lot was awarded. The award was made on 18 September 2026; the contract was signed that day and runs from 24 to 25 September 2026. The contract value is £42,264 excluding VAT and £51,916.80 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is recorded as active. No separate scoring or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details, so the basis beyond the limited competition and quotes cannot be described. The award covers the heat-emitter installation at C block, Luton campus.

This award shows demand from the University of Bedfordshire for small, tightly scoped heating installation works on its campus estate, procured through a limited competition with quotes. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical plumbing and building-services capability to install heat emitters in an existing university building, together with the capacity to complete a concentrated site job to a short programme. Relevant experience working safely and efficiently in an occupied or operational institutional setting would help demonstrate suitability, although no particular accreditation or technical standard is stated here. Bradbury Plumbers Ltd, a small supplier, was selected for this work, showing that a smaller specialist contractor can deliver this scale of requirement. Businesses focused on large infrastructure projects or supply-only sales are less closely aligned with the installation work described.
