Summary of the contracting process

Portesbery School is seeking one supplier to supply and install air-conditioning units. The work covers approximately 20 classrooms and a small meeting room at the school’s current site, together with three classrooms and a communal life-skills space in its new Post-16 building. This is building installation work, specifically air-conditioning installation. The delivery location is Portesbery School, Newfoundland Road, Deepcut. The requirement is intended to provide cooling across teaching, meeting and life-skills spaces at both the existing school site and the new Post-16 building.

The school invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 25 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC, and the deadline for enquiries was 18 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 February to 9 April 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives 60% weight to customer requirements and 40% to price. The school’s stated preference is for installation to be completed as soon as possible, ideally by the end of the Easter 2027 holiday period.

This opportunity suits an air-conditioning contractor able to supply and install units across multiple classrooms and shared school spaces, working at both an existing site and a new Post-16 building. The scale is a school-wide installation spanning approximately two dozen classrooms, a small meeting room and a communal life-skills space. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable, as are voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bids are assessed primarily on how well they meet the customer’s requirements, with price also carrying significant weight, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with the school’s requirements as well as competitive pricing. The buyer requires a single supplier for the full installation.
