Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Lambeth Red Labs Refurb-Upgrades AHU12&14" was initiated by the Metropolitan Police Service and involves upgrading critical components of the Phoenix closed-protocol VAV damper system at the forensic clean rooms in London, United Kingdom. Classified under the construction industry category, this tender follows a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender status is complete, with Axis Europe PLC awarded the contract. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 6th June 2026, the start of the contract on 9th June 2026, and it is set to conclude on 31st March 2027. The award date was 1st June 2026, and the details were published on 2nd July 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses experienced in construction, particularly those specialising in building management systems and network cabling infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this project particularly suitable due to the upgrade works and integration requirements with the building management system. Companies with expertise in ventilation systems, actuator controls, and Bacnet controllers would also be well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities. The procurement method suggests that being part of a framework agreement could be beneficial in accessing such selective call-off tenders.
