## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council procured works to install a new air-source heat pump at Berinsfield Library in Oxfordshire. The requirement falls within heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work and is a building-services installation rather than a supply-only purchase. The contract is based on the JCT Minor Works 2024 form, indicating a defined construction and installation project for a public library. The work is specific to Berinsfield Library, with Oxfordshire County Council as the public-sector buyer. It is relevant to contractors able to deliver air-source heat-pump installations and associated heating, ventilation or air-conditioning works in public or similar occupied buildings.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Darnells Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning a limited procurement route rather than an open competition. The contract was signed on 27 April 2026 and runs from 27 April 2026 to 5 June 2026. Its value is £47,235 excluding VAT, or £56,682 including VAT. The tender was a single completed lot, covering the air-source heat-pump installation at the library. The awarded supplier is Darnells Ltd. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active, with the procurement status complete.

This outcome shows Oxfordshire County Council’s demand for practical low-carbon heating upgrades in its public buildings, delivered through a focused works contract rather than a large multi-site programme. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need proven capability in air-source heat-pump installation, heating and ventilation engineering, and the associated building works needed to complete an installation safely and operationally. Familiarity with JCT Minor Works 2024 would help a contractor work within the council’s contract model. Credibility would also come from delivering installations in public-facing buildings, coordinating efficiently on a short construction programme, and managing the interfaces between mechanical systems, the building and library operations.
