Summary of the contracting process

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has successfully concluded a contract for the inspection and repairs of air conditioning and related units across its facilities, including Ballymena, Carrickfergus, and Larne. This procurement, classified under services, was managed through an open procedure and aimed to ensure the maintenance and repair of systems like air conditioning units, heat recovery, air handling units, and ductwork within the Council’s jurisdiction. The contract, with a gross value of £540,000 and net of £450,000, was awarded to Source Air Conditioning and Electrical (NI) Ltd, commencing on 5th June 2026 and set to conclude on 4th June 2027, with possibilities for extensions up to three subsequent years. This process reflects the Council’s adherence to the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54 and Northern Irish devolved regulations.

The open procurement method and substantial contract value present significant opportunities for SMEs engaged in electrical and mechanical services, particularly those in Northern Ireland, to compete and expand their business. This contract not only emphasises the need for high-quality service delivery but also provides a stable, multi-year revenue stream, thereby fostering business growth for competent suppliers. It prioritises the inclusion of SMEs, making it ideally suited for nimble enterprises that can provide specialised, high-quality maintenance and repair services efficiently. Businesses looking to participate in similar future tenders should demonstrate a strong track record in HVAC systems and be prepared to comply with stringent quality and service criteria.
