Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines Discovery Catapult Limited has successfully completed a procurement process for a Planned Preventative Maintenance Contract, focusing on air conditioning and ventilation systems in Macclesfield, United Kingdom. The contract covers office maintenance and includes Mitsubishi Close Control Units for mass spectrometry, microscopes, and other facilities. This procurement initiative, classified under the 'services' category, was conducted using a direct procurement method below threshold without competition. The contract, awarded to Aerocool Limited, commenced on 1st December 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th November 2028, with a total gross value of £65,445.60.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those skilled in handling air conditioning, ventilation systems, and sensitive laboratory equipment.

Such contracts not only provide stable income streams over several years but also enhance the company's profile within the public sector, opening doors for potential collaborations with government sub-central authorities like the Medicines Discovery Catapult.
