## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council procured replacement of the hot and cold water pipework at Fringford School. This is plumbing and building-services work, covering the school’s water pipework rather than a broader facilities package. The delivery location is Fringford, Oxfordshire. The selected supplier, CME Heating Limited, is based in Silsoe, Bedfordshire. The requirement is categorised as works and classified as water plumbing work. It is a single-lot procurement, focused on one school site and a defined pipework replacement project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CME Heating Limited. The award is active and the contract is also active; it was signed on 10 July 2026, with an award date not separately recorded. The contract value is £49,887 excluding VAT (£59,864.40 including VAT). The stated contract period runs from 13 July to 11 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 12 July 2030. The period includes 12 months for rectification, and the commencement and completion dates may vary under the contract terms. The process used below-threshold limited competition and comprised one lot. Award information identifies the work but gives no further evaluation criteria.

For a future requirement of this kind at Oxfordshire County Council, a credible competitor would need to deliver hot and cold water pipework replacement in a school environment, with the plumbing capability and project capacity to complete a focused, site-based works package. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in heating, which shows that a smaller building-services contractor can undertake this scale of work. The limited-competition route means relevant experience and the ability to respond to a targeted approach may be important. Suppliers should be prepared to manage completion and rectification obligations under a building works contract. The opportunity is specific to school water systems; broader facilities or unrelated plumbing services alone would not establish a fit.
