## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council has completed the procurement for the urgent replacement of the Civic Centre's boiler system. This contract falls under the works category and was essential due to safety concerns and failing components in the existing heating system. The procurement process culminated in an award on 30th May 2025, following a tender initiation. This project was defined under the sub-central government classification within the public authority sector, and it took place in Southend On Sea, Essex, classified under CPV code 45232141 for heating works. The procurement method was detailed as below threshold - unknown.

This tender presents considerable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in heating systems and building maintenance, particularly those able to undertake urgent replacement works. Given the project scope and its sub-central government classification, SMEs like R & A Mechanical Services Ltd, who were awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete. Companies with expertise in handling health and safety compliant installations stand to benefit, especially as the demand for reliable heating solutions in government buildings persists. The project's scale ensures it is accessible to businesses of varying sizes, fostering competitive bidding and potential market expansion.

## Notice

The civic boiler room plant is now end of life and requires replacement as this will be a health & safety issue. The current heating system has limited control and was only a stop gap until completion of the original project. The boilers are in danger of major fail. 5 of the 9 modules have now fully failed. If we lose another module the water temperature will drop into a dangerous legionella risk zone and the system will have to be shut down leaving the civic, civic suite & courthouse with no heating. The system will also require a full chlorination.
