Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited, a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool, had initiated a procurement process titled "Air Conditioning and Ventilation 2026" under an open procedure. The process fell within the services category, focusing on heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation work, and spanned several UK regions, including North and LCR, London, and South & Central. Initially active in December 2025, the tender had a submission deadline set for 16th January 2026 and was planned to enter the award period by 1st April 2026. However, by 4th February 2026, the procurement was cancelled due to insufficient tender returns, leading to the completion status of all related lots.

This tender initially presented opportunities for air-conditioning and ventilation specialists, particularly those with expertise in HVAC systems, mechanical ventilation, and related ductwork across multiple regions in the UK. Businesses involved in heating works, HVAC repairs, and installations had the chance to compete for a substantial market opportunity, valued at £13.05 million gross. The segmented lot structure allowed firms to focus strategically on their preferred regions, encouraging SMEs to participate due to the procurement approach favouring competitive cost and quality criteria. The eventual cancellation underscores the importance of sufficient market engagement and bid submission within the public procurement landscape.
