Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured the replacement of the air-conditioning system at Devonshire House. The requirement covers air-conditioning installations, including the supply and associated replacement works needed to provide a functioning replacement system. It is a goods-led requirement managed by NHS Property Services Limited as the buying organisation. The buyer is based at Regent House, Heaton Lane, Stockport, although the contract work is identified specifically for Devonshire House. The procurement concerns a single air-conditioning replacement requirement rather than a wider estate-wide programme or multiple service locations. Businesses operating in commercial air-conditioning installation, replacement, equipment supply and related building-services delivery would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected for the single lot: Airco Refrigeration and Airconditioning Ltd. The award date is not stated separately, while the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £52,375 excluding VAT and £62,850.31 including VAT. The award covers the air-conditioning installation requirement. The successful supplier is Airco Refrigeration and Airconditioning Ltd. The process used a limited procurement method, with competition restricted to invited suppliers rather than an open tender. The tender and lot status are complete, and the contract status is active.

This award demonstrates that NHS Property Services buys discrete air-conditioning replacement projects through below-threshold limited competitions, rather than only large, open-market programmes. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply and install air-conditioning systems and manage a focused replacement project at an NHS property. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist refrigeration and air-conditioning contractors, equipment suppliers with installation capability, and building-services firms able to coordinate replacement works in an occupied or operational public-sector building. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can meet this type of requirement. Firms preparing for comparable NHS Property Services work should be able to evidence practical air-conditioning installation capability and delivery of a complete replacement solution.
