Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is seeking qualified and accredited Principal Contractors for the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps at the Ashbourne Library and Hub, located on Compton Street, Ashbourne, DE6 1DA, United Kingdom. This tender, under the industry category "Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work" with additional classification for heat pumps, invites competitive bids until 24 April 2026. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, employing an open procedure method below the threshold. The contract work is scheduled to commence on 30 June 2026 and conclude by 4 September 2026. Contractors are required to demonstrate competence under the CDM Regulations to ensure safe site management.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in HVAC systems to showcase their expertise in executing projects in operational public buildings. Firms with a history of minimal disruption to services during live environment projects will find this particularly advantageous. The contract's value of £174,000 provides a tangible growth opportunity for larger, accredited firms equipped to handle such installations efficiently. As small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not the primary target, larger companies with substantial project management capabilities would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity.
