Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation services for Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service. The work covers both organisations’ estates and is classified as ventilation and air-conditioning installation work (CPV 45331200). Delivery is in the East Midlands. The requirement is for ongoing building-services provision rather than a one-off supply of equipment, serving police and fire and rescue facilities. Supercool Central Ltd, an SME based in Northampton, was selected to provide the service. This procurement indicates demand from the commissioner for specialist heating, cooling and ventilation capability across the two public services’ estate.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Supercool Central Ltd on 25 September 2026. The award value is £710,000. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029. It covered lots 1 and 2 for both Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service; the published figures relate to the award as a whole, with no separate lot values given. The commissioner used a selective call-off mini-competition under the Estates and Facilities Framework. The competition deadline was 19 August 2026 at noon. The stated award value matches the estimated procurement value. The contract period is three years, and the award is active.

This award shows that the commissioner buys mechanical ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation services across both police and fire and rescue facilities, using a mini-competition through its Estates and Facilities Framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate specialist capability in installing and maintaining these building systems, and the operational capacity to serve two public-service estates across Northamptonshire. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of work was delivered by a smaller business rather than requiring a large corporate provider. Firms with relevant public-estate experience and the ability to compete through an appropriate framework route would be well placed to meet a comparable requirement.
