Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Leicestershire County Council, trading as ESPO, involved the replacement of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Condition (HVAC) System on the 1st and 2nd floors of the ESPO building located in Grove Park, Enderby, Leicester. Categorised under industry classifications such as HVAC packages and electrical installation work, this project falls within the works procurement category. The contract, titled "IPRFQ03/25-01 HVAC Replacement," was awarded on 19 September 2025, following an open competition under a "below threshold" procurement method. The implementation period for the contract is from 27 October 2025 to 5 December 2025, and the project value was agreed at £67,500 GBP. The initial tender process involved deadlines for queries and submissions in June 2025, with an award completion in August 2025.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in HVAC systems and related electrical installations. The open competition method allowed broader participation, which is advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises that meet the tender requirements. Those businesses with strengths in quality and detailed knowledge of HVAC and building systems would have been well-suited to compete. The contractual work concentrating on a government building provides a reliable client reference and financial opportunity, enhancing the business growth prospects for the awarded supplier, William Freer Limited, and similar organisations capable of delivering high-quality HVAC solutions.
