Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has completed the award stage for the "Mechanical Maintenance Replacements" contract at their laboratories in South Mimms, Hertfordshire. The procurement process, which utilised an open procedure, was aimed at replacing mechanical maintenance equipment in the short term, with potential extensions over the next four years. Parker Air Conditioning has been awarded the contract valued at approximately GBP 1.9 million, with an option for annual extensions up to GBP 2 million per year, subject to budget availability. The initial contract period starts on 17th February 2026 and is due to end on 31st March 2026, with provisions for extending the contract up to March 2030.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in mechanical engineering installation and maintenance services. Companies capable of delivering quality replacements of plant equipment with the agility to potentially extend services could benefit greatly. The procurement caters to mechanical engineering firms that can meet the industry's standards and accommodate the potential for extended contracts, allowing for consistent revenue streams. This project not only highlights immediate mechanical replacement needs but also calls for longer-term readiness in service provision as further funding becomes available.
