Summary of the contracting process

The George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, located in Nuneaton, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement process for the "Rooftop Chiller replacement" project. Awarded on 7th October 2025, the contract was ultimately secured by Airco Refrigeration and Airconditioning Ltd for the total gross amount of £55,237.06. The project, classified under the 'works' category, entails the removal of an existing chiller and the complete installation and commissioning of a new air-cooled system. Initially announced via an open and below-threshold competition, the procurement was conducted under the legal framework provided by the UKPGA 2023/54, and had an enquiry period ending on 5th September 2025, with submissions due by 11th September 2025. The awarded contract is scheduled to run from 1st November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in HVAC systems, mechanical installations, and electrical integrations. The open competition allowed various bidders, with a total of eight submissions recorded, although no SMEs or VCSEs reached the final bidding stage. Large-scale enterprises focusing on cooling equipment installation can benefit greatly from such projects. This procurement process embodies a competitive platform for established companies to showcase their quality and pricing strengths, with specific emphasis on quality (weighted at 60%) and price (40%) in the bid evaluation criteria. Such opportunities are optimal for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in public-sector infrastructure enhancements.
