Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Lambeth Police Station - Chillers." This initiative falls under the construction work category within the industry and is located in London, United Kingdom. The tender involved the replacement and upgrade of chillers along with associated mechanical and electrical work at the police station. This contract, valued at £325,589.76, was awarded to Axis Europe PLC via a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The process progressed through the award stage, with the award made active on 20th November 2025 and the contract period running from 26th November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and mechanical engineering, particularly those experienced in HVAC systems and infrastructure upgrades. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could have had the potential to compete given the tender's suitability considerations, despite the project ultimately being awarded to a large-scale supplier. Businesses capable of executing phased installations, maintaining operational continuity, and working with existing building management systems would be well-suited to engage with similar future opportunities. Such projects provide avenues for growth through collaboration with public sector clients like the Metropolitan Police Service.
