Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned the Ysgol Nantgwyn Low Carbon Heat Project, a construction and engineering project to provide low-carbon heat at Ysgol Nantgwyn. The work is located in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area of Wales. This is a works contract, focused on a named school rather than a general council-wide programme. The procurement identifies construction work and engineering and construction consultancy as its work categories. The project title establishes the low-carbon heat purpose, while the published scope does not describe the heating system, installation tasks or technical design. It is therefore most relevant to contractors and engineering firms able to deliver low-carbon heating infrastructure for a school setting, subject to the detailed project requirements.

The contract has been awarded to Thermal Earth Ltd, and the contract is active. Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC used a limited competition below the relevant threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 6 February 2026, with a period running from 9 February 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £220,000 excluding VAT and £264,000 including VAT. The award is recorded as active, and the procurement as complete. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated. The process therefore records a selected supplier and an active contract, rather than a procurement awaiting a decision. The named supplier is based in Carmarthenshire; delivery is in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area.

For firms tracking repeat demand from Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC, this award demonstrates a requirement for low-carbon heat works at a school, procured through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor would need to show the practical capacity to deliver construction and engineering work for an occupied or operational school environment, alongside relevant low-carbon heating expertise. The selected supplier’s award provides evidence that the council placed this work with a specialist contractor, but the available project description does not identify system type, technical specifications, required accreditations or minimum experience. Suppliers with demonstrable delivery experience on comparable school heat projects would be best placed to assess whether a future, similar requirement fits their capability and capacity. The contract concerns this specific school project, not broader building-energy services.
