Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured HVAC replacement works for its laboratories at Swansea University. The requirement covers replacing and repairing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, including associated cooling and ventilation equipment. The work is therefore relevant to businesses specialising in commercial HVAC installation, replacement, maintenance and repair, particularly in laboratory or other technically controlled environments. Natural Resources Wales is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is Swansea, within the Swansea University laboratories. The procurement was structured as a single requirement covering the HVAC system replacement and repair works, rather than separate service categories or identified delivery locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. S&G Air Conditioning Contracts Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025 and runs from 5 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. Its value is £561,000 excluding VAT, or £673,200 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the single HVAC replacement and repair requirement and cooling and ventilation equipment. The published outcome records the procurement as a completed process, with the supplier appointed for the works at Natural Resources Wales laboratories located at Swansea University.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for commercial HVAC replacement and repair at Natural Resources Wales laboratory premises. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to assess existing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, supply suitable cooling and ventilation equipment, remove or replace equipment, and carry out associated repairs. Experience working in laboratory environments would help, particularly where continuity of operations, controlled conditions, safety and careful coordination with the host university are important. Suppliers should be able to manage a complete replacement and repair package for a public-sector client, from technical assessment and equipment selection through installation, testing and completion. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist HVAC work can be delivered by a focused independent contractor.
