UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured the design, manufacture, supply and installation of two new air handling units for the Corby Innovation Hub. The work includes testing and commissioning the units, covering ventilation equipment, ventilation installation, mechanical installation and associated building completion works. This is a building-services and mechanical-engineering requirement rather than a general supply contract. The delivery setting is the Corby Innovation Hub in Corby, with the council as the buying organisation. The procurement is classified primarily as services, while the awarded work is described as works. It would suit businesses that deliver complete air-handling-unit packages, including equipment manufacture or supply, mechanical installation, site testing and commissioning for commercial or industrial buildings.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Three bids were received and three reached the final stage. The contract was awarded to FLÄKTGROUP UK LTD on 4 August 2026 for £141,948 excluding VAT, or £170,337.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 December 2027. The related award period was recorded as 18 August 2026 to 22 November 2027. The contract is active and the award is active. No separate award weighting or evaluation formula is published in the procurement data.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for a supplier able to take responsibility for a complete air-handling-unit package, from design and manufacture through supply, installation, testing and commissioning. Competitors would need credible ventilation and mechanical-engineering capability, with the practical capacity to coordinate equipment delivery, building-services installation and commissioning at an innovation-hub or similar commercial site. Experience with air handling units, ventilation systems, mechanical installations and building completion work would be directly relevant. The successful supplier was a large specialist business, but the lot was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms with the right technical capability and delivery capacity could be credible participants, either independently or through a suitable delivery partnership.
