## Summary

TEC Partnership procured mechanical installation, repair and maintenance services for its education and training estate. The requirement covers mechanical building installations, mechanical engineering installation works and installation of mechanical equipment, including ongoing maintenance and repairs. TEC Partnership is a further and higher education provider comprising Grimsby Institute, University Centre Grimsby, Scarborough TEC, East Riding College and Skegness College, together with National Employer Training, Transafe Training, The Academy Grimsby and Little Star Nursery. The work is associated with the Partnership’s premises in the United Kingdom, with the named address at Nuns Corner, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. This is a works opportunity for mechanical contractors able to support a distributed portfolio of education, training, school and nursery facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 24 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 1 July 2026 to F R Townsend & Co Ltd of Grimsby, GW Power-Safe Ltd of Hull, and Westwood Plumbing and Heating Ltd of Beverley. The award value is recorded as £0 GBP, consistent with a framework arrangement where work may be instructed separately. The framework contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2028. The opportunity was classified as works and covered mechanical installation, repair and maintenance. Participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Three suppliers were appointed under the award.

For a supplier that did not win, this award confirms recurring demand from TEC Partnership for mechanical installation and mechanical building-services maintenance across a varied education estate. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in mechanical engineering installation, installation of mechanical equipment, and planned or reactive repair and maintenance of building mechanical systems. The appointed suppliers are based in Grimsby, Hull and Beverley, indicating that practical coverage across North and East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is relevant. Suppliers should be able to service multiple campuses and specialist training, school and nursery facilities, manage varied site requirements, and provide dependable response and delivery capacity. The Partnership’s established contractor framework also indicates that experience of working for an institutional estate and delivering consistent service across separate locations would strengthen future bids.
