## Summary

East Sussex County Council procured construction and mechanical heating works at Bourne Primary School. The requirement was to install a VRV/VRF heating and cooling system on the first floor of the south block. This is a school-building services installation rather than general building work, and would suit contractors experienced in commercial HVAC systems, heating infrastructure and work in occupied or operational education settings. The delivery location is Bourne Primary School in East Sussex. The council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning authority. The procurement concerned one defined package of works, covering the installation described above. The requirement falls within the construction works category and is focused on delivering a specific building-services upgrade within the school.

The procurement has reached completion and a supplier was selected. It used a limited mini-competition under a PCR 2015 Works Framework, run without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was evaluated on price. Five bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The award was made to Edgar and Wood Mechanical Services Limited, an SME based in Brighton. The contract is active, was signed on 22 May 2026, and has a value of £196,625.09. The recorded procurement lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The works timescale could be extended if delivery slipped. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement shows that East Sussex County Council buys specialist VRV/VRF installation work for schools through a Works Framework mini-competition, with price as the recorded evaluation basis. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability to design, supply, install and commission VRV/VRF systems, together with broader commercial heating-works competence. Experience delivering mechanical services in school buildings would be relevant, particularly where work must be coordinated around teaching activities, safeguarding requirements and an existing building. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor. Framework access and the ability to submit compliant electronic bids would be important for competing through the same route.
