Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is procuring electrical distribution upgrades together with the supply and installation of air-conditioning equipment for Unit 37 Macadam Way in Andover. The requirement combines electrical installation work, air-conditioning appliances and air-conditioning installation services. It is principally a goods procurement with associated works. The appointed contractor will need to deliver both the equipment supply and the physical installation needed to upgrade the site’s electrical distribution and cooling systems. The opportunity is relevant to electrical contractors, commercial air-conditioning specialists and firms able to manage a combined mechanical and electrical installation package. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the work is focused on its Andover premises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. One lot was evaluated on cost, weighted at 60%, and quality of proposal and technical ability, weighted at 40%. Economic and technical selection requirements were set out in the tender pack. Ten bids were received. NRT Group was selected on 5 August 2026 at an awarded value of £158,726 excluding VAT, or £190,471 including VAT. The procurement’s estimated value was £220,000 excluding VAT, or £264,000 including VAT. The standstill period ends on 17 August 2026. The award contract period is 19 August to 25 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 19 August 2026. The tender-stage contract period was 27 July to 4 September 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Test Valley Borough Council for a combined electrical distribution and commercial cooling package at one of its Andover sites. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to design or interpret specifications and drawings, supply suitable air-conditioning equipment, and complete electrical and cooling installation work safely and to the required standard. The evaluation shows that cost carried greater weight than quality and technical ability, so suppliers would need a competitive cost base alongside a clear, technically robust proposal. Firms with proven experience coordinating electrical and air-conditioning works, managing a short installation programme and delivering an integrated site solution would be well placed when this buyer next purchases a similar requirement.
