Sherwood Primary School needs to replace their water heater system during the summer holiday break (21 July to 21 August 2026). This is a straightforward facilities maintenance contract for a school in London, and all bidding must be done through the London Tenders Portal.
Requirements
- All enquiries and tender submissions must be submitted via the London Tenders Portal only — email enquiries will not be answered
- Work must be completed between 21 July and 21 August 2026 during the school summer holiday period
- No specific qualifications or certifications mentioned in this notice — check full tender documents for Gas Safe registration, plumbing qualifications, or other mandatory certifications
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Remove and dispose of the existing water heater at Sherwood Primary School
- Supply and install a replacement water heater system
- Ensure all work is completed within the 4-week summer holiday window (21 July to 21 August 2026)
- Leave the school with a fully operational water heating system before staff and pupils return in September
How to Read This Tender
- 1The tight deadline is critical — you have only 4 weeks in summer to complete this work, so check you can actually resource it during school holidays before bidding
- 2Find the full tender documents on the London Tenders Portal as this notice gives minimal detail — you'll need specs on the existing heater, the replacement specification, and any access/safety requirements
- 3Look for whether the school needs a like-for-like replacement or if they're specifying a particular new system — this affects your quote and lead times for equipment
- 4Check if the tender specifies disposal costs separately or if that's included in your price, and whether any asbestos surveys or hazardous material removal are needed
- 5Confirm what 'completion' means — is it just installation, or does it include testing, commissioning, staff training, and warranty handover?
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not a heating engineer yourself, this is a good subcontracting opportunity for a plumber or HVAC specialist — the main contract could go to a facilities manager or general contractor who brings you in as their specialist
- Summer holiday timing means less disruption to the school, but fewer workers available — think about whether you can meet the deadline with holiday staff absences, and price accordingly
- Schools often value social value and local suppliers — if you're based in London or employ local apprentices, highlight this in your bid as it may score points beyond just price
