## Summary

Braintree District Council procured heating and building energy works at Marks Farm Community Centre in Braintree and Silver End Village Hall in Silver End. The requirement covers upgrading the existing heating systems, replacing life-expired components, renewing mechanical and electrical systems, improving accessibility and supporting compliance with current building, health and safety and landlord obligations. It also includes supplying and installing a new photovoltaic array on the roof of Silver End Village Hall. The works are intended to improve reliability, maintain the buildings’ lettability and support minimum energy-efficiency standards. This is a construction works requirement, classified as heating plant construction work, delivered across community facilities in the East of England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Property 360 Ltd. The awarded value is £658,422.01. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 1 December 2026. The requirement was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with bids due by 26 May 2026 at 2pm. The buyer was Braintree District Council. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation resulted in one active award covering the heating upgrades and photovoltaic installation. The award value and contract period apply to the single successful supplier and are not divided into separate lots.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Braintree District Council for combined heating refurbishment, mechanical and electrical renewal, accessibility improvements and renewable-energy installation across occupied community buildings. A credible competitor would need to manage coordinated works in public-facing halls, replace ageing heating infrastructure safely, install and integrate photovoltaic equipment, and work around facilities used by residents, tenants, offices, nurseries, libraries and events. Relevant capability includes building-services design and installation, heating-system replacement, electrical works, photovoltaic-array delivery, statutory compliance and careful site management. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist or suitably experienced building-services contractor can be competitive through the council’s framework call-off route.
