Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council commissioned boiler upgrade works at Shobdon Primary School in Herefordshire. The work is construction, focused on upgrading the school’s boiler; the contract was let as works rather than as a supply-only purchase. The school is the delivery location, and the council is the buying organisation. This is a defined, single-site building-services requirement for a primary school, rather than a wider programme covering multiple schools or locations. The procurement title and description identify the boiler upgrade as the scope, with the contract using a JCT Minor Works with Contractor’s Design form. The selected contractor is an electrical contractor, reflecting the building-services nature of the work, although the available scope does not detail the equipment or installation tasks.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Herefordshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition. C.F. Roberts (Electrical Contractors) Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract value is £40,580 excluding VAT (£48,696 including VAT). The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September to 30 October 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement describes the works as using a JCT Minor Works with Contractor’s Design Contract. No award date is separately recorded; the contract signature date marks the recorded start of the contract. The published outcome does not set out specific eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be established from the stated procurement details.

This award shows that Herefordshire Council buys targeted boiler upgrade works for individual school buildings through limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver building-services construction at a single-site school, understand boiler upgrade work and be able to operate within a JCT Minor Works with Contractor’s Design contract. The selected company is an electrical contractor, indicating that a supplier with relevant electrical and building-services capability may be well placed, but the stated scope does not establish a particular technical specification, accreditation, staffing level or track record requirement. The project is a focused school upgrade rather than a large multi-site programme, so firms equipped to manage a discrete works package and coordinate design and delivery under the stated contract form are the closest fit.
