UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured boiler and pipework replacement works at Dry Sandford School. The work covers boiler installation and water plumbing, forming a school heating-system replacement project. The buying organisation is the county council; delivery is in Oxfordshire, at Dry Sandford School. This is a building-services works requirement centred on replacing heating plant and associated pipework, rather than a general facilities or maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CME Heating Limited. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The award was made on 10 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. Its stated value is £301,047 excluding VAT (£361,256.40 including VAT). The contract period runs from 13 July to 11 December 2026, with a maximum extent date of 12 July 2030. The contract includes a 12-month rectification period before final payment; commencement and completion dates may vary under the JCT contract terms. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria.

The award shows demand from Oxfordshire County Council for specialist heating and plumbing contractors able to replace boilers and associated pipework in a school setting. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical boiler installation and water-plumbing capability, along with the project management and workforce capacity to deliver a substantial, time-bound works package in an operational education environment. Experience coordinating building works and completing rectification obligations would also be relevant, given the contract’s stated post-completion rectification period. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that a smaller specialist contractor was able to undertake this single-lot requirement. The competition was limited rather than open, so suppliers should monitor the council’s route to market and establish the relevant procurement relationships for future requirements of this kind.
