Summary of the contracting process

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has initiated an open procurement process inviting tenders for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of various heating and cooling units, including air conditioning and heat recovery units, within its council buildings. The procurement process is in the tender stage as of 7th January 2026, with deadlines for enquiries by 4th February 2026 and tender submissions by noon on 6th February 2026. The contract is poised to start on 9th March 2026 and run through 8th March 2027, with potential extensions available. The procurement, valued at up to £594,000, falls under the services category with a focus on maintenance and repair work, covering regions within Ballymena, Carrickfergus, and Larne in Northern Ireland.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in mechanical services, particularly those with expertise in HVAC systems and building maintenance. With significant emphasis placed on quality and cost in the award criteria, companies that can demonstrate a competitive pricing strategy along with high standards of technical delivery will be well-positioned to benefit. Given the council's flexibility in considering SMEs, there is ample scope for smaller enterprises to secure a foothold, potentially expanding their service offerings within the public sector. The open procedure allows diverse business entries, fostering competition and providing a platform for companies aiming to establish or strengthen their presence in the Northern Ireland market.
