Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured replacement of the chiller at Salisbury Law Courts. This is a building-services works requirement focused on removing and replacing the court building’s chiller; the procurement description does not give further technical scope. The work is to be delivered at Salisbury Law Courts, Salisbury, Wiltshire. The requirement sits within the Ministry’s court estate and concerns essential building cooling equipment rather than general court construction. It is relevant to contractors specialising in chiller replacement and associated building works, particularly those able to undertake work at an operational court site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kier Construction Ltd. The award date was 2 August 2026. The contract is valued at £1,841,479 and runs from 2 December 2026 to 2 June 2027. The original tender deadline was 12 February 2026 at 16:00. The Ministry of Justice used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated tender value matches the awarded value. The process is marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available procurement details identify the work as chiller replacement but do not describe separate lots or provide the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Ministry of Justice demand for substantial chiller replacement works within its court estate. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven delivery capability in replacing building chillers and managing the associated works at a court location. The selected contractor is a large construction company, indicating that the awarded requirement went to a supplier with the scale to take on a sizeable, time-bound project. Relevant experience should include planning and coordinating works in a public building, with the capacity to complete the replacement within the contract period. The procurement was placed through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable Ministry of Justice work would need access to a suitable framework route as well as technical delivery capability.
