Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council procured works to alter and install heating systems at Viewfield Gate in Ayr and Kirkmichael Primary School in Kirkmichael. The requirement covers heating-system alterations and associated boiler installation work across two education sites. It is a building-services and mechanical-installation opportunity for contractors able to plan and deliver heating works in occupied or operational public buildings, with suitable coordination across separate locations. The council is the buyer and end user of the completed works. The procurement falls within the heating and boiler-installation sector, including CPV classifications for boiler installations, boilers and boiler installation work. The work is specifically connected to primary-school premises, so suppliers would need to understand the practical requirements of delivering safe, reliable heating infrastructure in an education setting.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Scotland Excel Property Maintenance and Refurbishment Framework, Lot 5 Heating. Richard Irvin FM Limited was selected as the supplier. The award value is £346,806.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026 and is recorded as active. The award was also dated through the signed contract on 9 February 2026. One bid was recorded for the procurement. The contracting process began its tender period on 9 February 2026. The published outcome concerns one award covering the supply and installation of heating-system alterations at Viewfield Gate, Ayr, and Kirkmichael Primary School, Kirkmichael. The route was restricted to competition through the existing heating framework.

This outcome identifies a defined market for heating-system alteration and boiler-installation contractors serving South Ayrshire Council’s education estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical ability to assess existing heating infrastructure, design or plan appropriate alterations, supply compatible equipment and complete installation works safely. It would also need the operational capacity to coordinate delivery across sites in Ayr and Kirkmichael, while managing access, sequencing, health and safety and disruption around primary-school buildings. Experience of public-sector maintenance or refurbishment work would help demonstrate reliable compliance and contract management. Suppliers would need access to the relevant Scotland Excel Property Maintenance and Refurbishment Framework heating route, or an equivalent route used when the council next sources comparable works, and the capacity to deliver a substantial multi-site heating project.
