## Summary

Blackburn with Darwen procured replacement gas boilers at Audley and Queens Park Neighbourhood Learning Centre. The works involved removing both existing gas-fired boilers and installing two 120 kW Ideal Evo Max boilers, with shunt pumps and standard-height mounting frames, in line with the specification. The requirement was for gas-fitting installation work at learning-centre sites in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire. The council was the buyer. This was a single package of boiler replacement works, rather than a broader heating-services requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Lancashire Gas Services, an SME. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 30 November 2026 to 9 January 2027. Its value is £65,712.73 excluding VAT, or £78,855.27 including VAT. The procurement covered one lot. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The stated requirement was to replace two boilers with specified 120 kW units, pumps and mounting frames; no separate award-scoring criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Blackburn with Darwen for a tightly scoped commercial boiler replacement at its learning-centre premises. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver complete removal of existing gas-fired plant and installation of replacement boilers to a defined specification, including associated pumps and mounting frames. Relevant gas-fitting installation capability, experience coordinating works at public learning-centre sites, and the capacity to complete a focused installation package would be pertinent. The award went to an SME through limited competition, showing that a smaller specialist supplier was selected for this scale of work. Suppliers serving the council should be prepared to compete for a defined installation requirement rather than assume a wider maintenance or heating-services contract.

## Notice
