Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned heating works at Holymead Primary School. The requirement is classified as works and covers heating-system work at the school; the award records the work as heating works (CPV 45232141). The delivery location is in Bristol, England. The procurement is a single-lot requirement, awarded to one supplier, for work at this named primary school. This is a focused building-services project rather than a broader school-maintenance package: businesses specialising in heating installation or related mechanical works are the closest fit. The contract is with the council, which is responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Invictus Mechanical Limited. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026, with work scheduled from 19 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its stated value is £81,750 excluding VAT and £98,100 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one supplier; the published award data does not provide a separate award value. No evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the stated route without competition. The contract is active. These details show the outcome and scale of the council’s purchase, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for this completed procurement.

For heating contractors considering comparable work for Bristol City Council, this award is evidence of a school heating requirement delivered as a discrete works contract by a mechanical engineering supplier. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical capacity to carry out heating works in an occupied or operational school setting, manage the installation safely and complete the work within a defined project programme. Relevant school-building experience, competent mechanical and heating trades, reliable project supervision and the ability to coordinate site access would support a strong case. The procurement used a below-threshold direct-award route without competition, so the result does not establish a competitive evaluation model or a particular accreditation requirement. Suppliers should treat this as evidence of the buyer’s demand for targeted school heating works, not evidence that a new contract is available.
