Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is buying semi-comprehensive maintenance of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment at its offices and expatriate residences in India. The systems covered include HVAC units, variable refrigerant volume systems, chillers, cooling towers and air-conditioning units. The requirement was divided by site: the British High Commission in New Delhi and Deputy High Commissions in Chandigarh, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. The awarded work covers New Delhi, Chandigarh, Chennai and Kolkata; Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad were not awarded. This is facilities maintenance and repair work for a geographically distributed public-sector estate, requiring suppliers able to service the relevant locations.

The open-procedure procurement has reached award. AIRCON TECHNIQUE PRIVATE LIMITED was selected for New Delhi, Chandigarh and Chennai for £1,225,413. G4S FACILITY SERVICES INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED was selected for Kolkata for £53,394. Both awards are dated 16 September 2026. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, subject to satisfactory performance and continuing operational need. The tender was divided into seven site-based lots, evaluated separately on combined technical and commercial scores. Price carried 40%; quality criteria covered experience and capability, HR practices, delivery methodology, quality assurance, mobilisation, staff and escalation arrangements, and health and safety. The recorded selection requirements included legal registration in India and compliance with applicable laws.

For suppliers preparing for similar FCDO facilities-maintenance work in India, credibility rests on local delivery capacity and evidence of relevant performance at the specific service location. The evaluation called for at least three relevant contracts, including public- and private-sector work, and at least three completion certificates, with client references available for checks. Suppliers need a local office, or a subcontractor with an office where the service is delivered. Strong proposals also need a practical plan for managing maintenance, people and materials; site-level supervision; KPI monitoring; mobilisation; spare-parts quality and warranties; and complaint escalation. The buyer looked for vetted, qualified staff and managers and supervisors with at least five years’ role experience and English fluency, alongside formal health-and-safety systems and suitable risk assessments.
