UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council procured heating replacement works at Southborough Church of England Primary School. The existing oil-fired boilers served radiators, fan convectors and domestic hot water. The replacement system comprises gas-fired condensing boilers, new fan convectors and radiators, and new flow and return distribution pipework. This is a building mechanical-services project focused on replacing the school’s heating infrastructure, including associated heat distribution and domestic hot water provision. The work is at Southborough C of E Primary School in Southborough, Kent. The requirement is for a complete change from the existing oil-fired arrangement to a gas-fired system, rather than a supply-only purchase of heating equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to H.O.B. Mechanical Services Limited. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 27 July to 4 September 2026. Its value is £281,750.06 excluding VAT, or £338,100.07 including VAT. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The award data identifies heating replacement works for the school; no separate award date is recorded. The available procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria, so the basis on which the competing offers were assessed cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for school heating replacement delivered as an integrated mechanical-services works package. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capability to remove or replace existing boiler plant, install gas-fired condensing boilers, fit radiators and fan convectors, and provide new flow and return distribution pipework. The scope also involves serving domestic hot water, so relevant experience should cover the heating system as a whole rather than equipment installation in isolation. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized mechanical-services business, showing that a supplier of that scale competed successfully for this single-school project. Practical experience delivering comparable work in an operational school setting would be directly relevant.
