## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned carbon-reduction works at Wigan Community Fire and Ambulance Station. The project replaces the existing gas-fired domestic hot-water system with a packaged electric air-source heat-pump solution, including ancillary equipment in an external compound. The works also connect the heat pumps to the building management system for control, monitoring of energy consumption and analytics. The contractor is responsible for design from RIBA Stage 4b and construction at RIBA Stage 5. Works must be coordinated to minimise disruption to daily fire-station operations. This is a construction project, delivered at the Wigan station in England, and is classified under CPV 45000000. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 17 November 2025 to Parr Facilities Management Limited. It was a selective direct award call-off from the NHS Hard Facilities Management 2 Framework, Lot 3.3 for low-carbon energy infrastructure. The estimated procurement value was £250,000 including GBP, and the awarded value was £249,594. The original tender deadline was 1 October 2025 at 4pm. The awarded contract period runs from 13 April 2026 to 5 June 2026. The planned procurement used a JCT Minor Works with Contractor’s Design 2024 form of contract. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route, with the award made to the selected framework supplier. The completed process therefore records both the requirement and its contractual outcome.

This requirement indicates demand from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority for contractors able to deliver low-carbon heating infrastructure in operational emergency-service buildings. A credible competitor would need experience replacing gas-fired domestic hot-water systems with packaged electric air-source heat-pump installations, integrating equipment with building management systems, and providing energy monitoring and analytics. Capability in ancillary electrical and mechanical works, external plant compounds, construction-stage coordination and design responsibility from RIBA Stage 4b would be relevant. Suppliers would also need to manage construction around live fire-station activities, limiting disruption while maintaining safe working practices. Experience delivering under NHS hard facilities management frameworks, using contractor-designed minor-works contracts, and demonstrating measurable carbon reductions would strengthen future credibility. The requirement’s suitability assessment also indicates that smaller and social-enterprise suppliers may be able to participate where they can evidence the necessary technical capacity.

## Notice

Awarded contract via direct award under NHS Hard Facilities Management 2 Framework (SBS10166) Lot 3.3 Low Carbon Energy Infrastructure.
