## Summary

Activate Learning procured works for an air-source heat pump and solar photovoltaic project at Reading College. The requirement covers the supply and installation of heat pump systems, associated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work, and solar panels. It is categorised as works, with heat pumps as the primary area and solar panels as an additional element. Delivery is centred on Reading College, with the buying organisation based in Oxford. The project combines building decarbonisation and renewable energy installation, so it is relevant to contractors able to coordinate mechanical heating systems with solar photovoltaic works within an education estate. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist installers and suitably resourced multidisciplinary contractors.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 8 February 2026. Activate Learning awarded an active contract to Corrigenda Limited on 14 August 2026 for £3,150,343.92 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 9 February 2026 to 25 March 2027. The award covers the combined air-source heat pump, heating and ventilation installation, and solar photovoltaic works at Reading College. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded value. The tender was completed before the award was recorded, and the award is active. The stated evaluation basis is the procurement procedure and scope for the works, with the requirement handled as an open competition.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial demand from Activate Learning for integrated low-carbon building services at a college site. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in air-source heat pump design and installation, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning works, and solar photovoltaic installation, with enough project management and delivery capacity to coordinate these disciplines. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist mechanical or renewable-energy contractor could be relevant where it can demonstrate the full capability itself or manage competent delivery partners. Experience of working safely and reliably in an education setting would also help, particularly where installation must be coordinated around occupied buildings, site access and operational continuity.
