Aberystwyth University needs to replace old gas-fired boilers in the Lord Milford Building with new heating equipment. This is a building services/mechanical engineering project to upgrade the university's heating infrastructure.
Requirements
- Gas Safe registered engineer or company to carry out the work
- Building Regulations compliance and sign-off required
- Ability to work on a live university building with minimal disruption to operations
- Public Sector Procurement requirements and compliance with UK government purchasing rules
- Health and safety compliance during installation (likely including asbestos surveys given age of existing boilers)
- Check full tender documents for insurance and liability requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Remove existing gas-fired boilers from Lord Milford Building
- Safely decommission and dispose of old boiler equipment
- Install new boiler system(s) to replace the old heating
- Connect new boilers to building pipework and controls
- Obtain Building Regulations completion certificate
- Commission and test the new heating system
- Provide staff training on operating new equipment if required
How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the 'Technical Specification' section in full documents — this will detail the exact boiler model(s) required, heating capacity, and any smart controls needed.
- 2Check 'Site Constraints' — university buildings have restricted access times and may require weekend/evening work; clarify disruption limits upfront.
- 3Find the 'Contract Period' — understand how long the installation takes, when you can start, and any penalty clauses for delays.
- 4Review 'Social Value Questions' — universities often score bids on local employment, apprenticeships, or environmental benefits; tailor your bid to these.
- 5Identify the evaluation method — boiler jobs are usually scored on price (often 60%) and quality/experience (40%); budget tight but don't cut corners on safety credentials.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider subcontracting: if you're a plumber or heating installer, you may not do the full removal/disposal alone — team up with specialists and make this clear; joint bids strengthen credentials.
- Check if you need the main contract or can bid as a specialist subcontractor — universities often manage multiple trades; position yourself appropriately.
- Highlight experience with similar educational buildings and minimal disruption; universities value contractors who can work around term times and student facilities.
