Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent procured works to replace defective air handling units serving the firearms range at Kent Police College in Maidstone. The purpose is to provide adequate ventilation and control lead contamination in the air. The requirement is a specialist heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation project, covering the removal and replacement of ventilation equipment and associated installation work. Delivery is in Kent, at the Kent Police College site in Maidstone. The procurement was intended for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, with participation reserved for organisations located in Kent. It is a single works requirement for a public-sector policing and training facility.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 September 2026 to Munro Building Services Ltd. It used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Two bids were received and evaluated. Price and quality were weighted equally at 50% each. The estimated value was £265,000 excluding VAT, or £318,000 including VAT. The awarded value was £224,190.27 excluding VAT, or £269,028.32 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 29 January 2027. A future contract signature milestone was scheduled for 5 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at noon, and the enquiry deadline was 8 July 2026 at noon.

This procurement indicates demand from Kent’s policing estate for contractors able to replace and install air handling and ventilation units in a specialist operational environment. Credible future suppliers would need practical capability in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation, including diagnosing or replacing defective air-handling equipment and delivering effective air-quality controls for environments affected by airborne lead contamination. The successful approach needed to balance technical quality with competitive pricing, as both formed half of the evaluation. Relevant businesses are likely to be established installation contractors with sufficient technical capacity to complete a focused equipment-replacement project in a live public-sector estate, and with experience managing site access, safety and commissioning requirements. Kent-based SMEs and VCSEs were specifically positioned to participate.
