## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured works to upgrade the boiler system at Cove Junior School. The requirement covers removing the existing boiler plant and flue systems, installing a new natural-gas-fired condensing boiler and new flues, and connecting the replacement equipment to the school’s existing heating circuits, gas-supply pipework and electrical power. This is a mechanical engineering installation project, delivered at the school in Hampshire. The work is part of the council’s building and educational-estate maintenance activity, and is relevant to contractors able to undertake commercial or public-sector heating-system replacement and associated mechanical and electrical connections. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, which commissioned the works for the school premises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive selective process, using a below-threshold award under a framework. There was one lot. The contract was awarded to MKG Building Services Ltd, an SME, and signed on 24 August 2026. The active contract runs from 24 August to 16 October 2026. Its value is £118,289 excluding VAT, or £141,947 including VAT. The awarded scope is the single boiler-upgrade requirement at Cove Junior School. The published outcome identifies one active award and one active contract. The procurement was conducted below the applicable threshold, with competition taking place within the framework route rather than through an open standalone tender.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist heating replacement in a school setting, combining boiler-house removal, natural-gas condensing-boiler installation, flue replacement and connections to existing heating, gas and electrical systems. A credible future competitor would need practical capability across mechanical building services, commercial boiler installation and integration with live building services, as well as the capacity to coordinate several connected work packages in an education environment. Experience of safely removing redundant plant, working around occupied or operational premises and delivering compliant gas, flue, heating and electrical interfaces would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME also indicates that this type of council works package can suit a focused building-services contractor with framework access and sufficient delivery capacity.

## Notice

Remove the existing boiler plant and replace with a new natural gas fired condensing boiler installation. Remove existing flue systems and install new flue systems to serve the new gas fired equipment. Connect the new gas fired equipment to the existing heating circuits, Gas Supply pipework and Electrical power.
