## Summary

Bedford College has initiated a tender process for the project titled "Domestic Hot Water Upgrades," aimed at enhancing their facilities across the Cauldwell Street, Kettering, and Corby campuses in the East of England. The college is set to replace gas-fired domestic water heaters with air source heat pumps and install sensor-operated taps. This contract, valued at £231,000, is part of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme managed by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The tender period concluded on 19th February 2021, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st March 2021 and end on 31st March 2021. This procurement was conducted using an open procedure method, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in plumbing and sanitary works, particularly those offering sustainable heating solutions. Companies with expertise in installing air source heat pumps and sensor-operated water fittings will find this project particularly relevant. Given that Bedford College has indicated an openness to collaborating with SMEs, this is an advantageous prospect for smaller firms looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector and contribute to environmentally friendly initiatives.
