Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council procured inspection and reporting services for combined air-conditioning systems with an output above 12 kW. The work is required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations and concerns TM44 air-conditioning inspections, including inspection of ventilation systems. The service is for the council’s estate in North Yorkshire. This is a public-sector compliance and building-services opportunity, relevant to specialist air-conditioning inspection providers, building-services consultancies and contractors able to assess qualifying systems and produce the required reports. The procurement covers services rather than construction, equipment supply or general facilities management, with the requirement grouped as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Fading Footprints Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £26,184 excluding VAT, or £31,420.80 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition procedure, and the published description identifies compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations as the purpose. The award relates to TM44 inspection and reporting for combined air-conditioning systems above 12 kW, with the associated classification describing ventilation-system inspection.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from North Yorkshire Council for recurring statutory inspection and reporting of larger combined air-conditioning systems. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be specialist air-conditioning or building-services inspection businesses that understand TM44 assessments, the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations and the reporting evidence needed to demonstrate compliance. They would need practical capacity to inspect systems above 12 kW across the council’s North Yorkshire estate, organise site visits and deliver consistent reports for multiple buildings or systems. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Familiarity with limited competitions and concise evidence of technical competence would also be commercially relevant.
