UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured commercial heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) services for its non-domestic estate in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding Dacorum area. The requirement covers statutory compliance, planned and reactive maintenance, repairs and associated work for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and plant. It also includes performance management, reporting and contract management. The technical scope encompasses heating equipment, boiler installations, cooling and ventilation equipment, heating works, air-conditioning installation, and repair and maintenance of mechanical building installations, central heating and cooling equipment. This is a public-sector building-services requirement for a contractor able to manage a broad commercial HVAC estate rather than a single installation or isolated repair project.

The procurement has reached the award stage. One lot was awarded to Sureserve Compliance Central Limited, with the award dated 4 September 2026 and a value of £9,000,000 excluding VAT (£10,800,000 including VAT). The contract period is stated as 1 November 2026 to 13 October 2031, with a possible extension to 31 October 2036. The award remains subject to a standstill period ending on 15 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 16 September 2026. The procedure was an open competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Twelve valid bids were received, including nine from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and includes a renewal option dependent on contractor performance.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future commercial HVAC work for Dacorum Borough Council. A credible competitor would need to deliver statutory compliance across a non-domestic estate, planned servicing, reactive response, repairs and installation-related work covering heating, boilers, ventilation, cooling and air-conditioning systems. The requirement also demonstrates that the Council expects a single provider to manage performance, reporting and contract administration alongside technical delivery. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence robust operational capacity, responsive maintenance arrangements, competent engineers and effective compliance controls, supported by reliable management information and performance monitoring. The competition attracted substantial SME participation, indicating that specialist and medium-sized building-services businesses can be credible participants where they can demonstrate sufficient coverage, resilience and service-management capability.
