Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned replacement of the hall heating system at Whiteley Primary School. The works comprise installing new fan convectors, replacing the associated pipework circuit and replacing the pump. This is a mechanical engineering installation project, rather than a general heating maintenance requirement. Delivery is at Whiteley Primary School in Hampshire. The requirement is focused on the school hall’s heating equipment and its connected pipework and pump, so relevant suppliers are those able to undertake heating-system replacement and associated mechanical installation works in an education building.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Appledown Projects Ltd. Hampshire County Council used a selective route to award under a framework, without a further competition. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 23 October to 3 November 2026. Its value is £38,558 excluding VAT (£46,269 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the hall heating replacement works at Whiteley Primary School. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria or a separate assessment basis, so the award route and selected supplier are the stated outcome of this procurement.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from Hampshire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a contained school heating-system replacement, combining fan convectors with pipework and pump work. A credible competitor would need the practical mechanical installation capability to manage the connected elements as one project, and experience working safely and effectively in a school building. The short, focused scope points to a supplier able to organise labour, equipment and materials efficiently and complete installation work to a tight programme. The award was made under a framework without a further competition, so suppliers seeking similar future work would need access to the relevant framework route as well as demonstrable delivery capability. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of project can be delivered by a smaller specialist business.
