## Summary

East Sussex County Council procured construction works to replace the existing oil-fired boiler at Motcombe Community Primary School. The replacement is a dual-fuel boiler, designed so that it can be adapted to run on gas in the future. The requirement covers boiler replacement rather than general building work, with the purpose of modernising the school’s heating system and allowing a future change of fuel. The work is associated with Motcombe Community Primary School and the buying organisation is East Sussex County Council, a local authority based in Lewes. The procurement is classified as construction work. This is a specialist mechanical and heating installation requirement for contractors able to remove an existing oil-fired system and install compatible dual-fuel equipment in a school environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, run as a mini-competition through a PCR15 framework. The single lot was evaluated on price. Six bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises and all submitted electronically. The contract was awarded to T.S.S. Facilities Limited, a Brighton-based SME, at £146,264.55. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 June 2026. The lot record is marked cancelled, but the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement allowed for programme timescales to be extended where necessary. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, with the procurement treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive.

This procurement demonstrates a defined need for school boiler replacement at a six-figure project scale, involving conversion from an oil-fired boiler to dual-fuel equipment with future gas adaptability. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience in commercial or public-sector heating-system replacement, including isolating and removing existing oil-fired plant, installing dual-fuel boilers and designing or delivering systems that can later operate on gas. Experience working safely in an occupied school setting would be commercially relevant. The route to market was a competitive mini-competition through a PCR15 framework, and all six recorded bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist contractors. Price was the sole recorded award criterion, so cost control and a clear, competitive pricing approach would be important.
