Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council commissioned replacement of the existing air-conditioning system at The King Centre in Rutland. The requirement covers the design, installation and commissioning of a new system because the current VRV system has reached the end of its serviceable life and is beyond economical repair. This is a building-services and engineering requirement combining air-conditioning installation with engineering design. The work is for the council’s premises in Rutland, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The requirement concerns a single package covering the complete replacement solution, rather than separate procurements for design, installation and commissioning. Businesses operating in commercial mechanical and electrical services, HVAC engineering, air-conditioning replacement and associated design may find the requirement relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ENVTEC SERVICES LIMITED. The award date and contract signature date were 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £34,471.42 excluding VAT, or £41,365.70 including VAT. Rutland County Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. The tender was evaluated as a single lot, which is complete, and the resulting contract is active. The award covers air-conditioning installation work and engineering design services. This outcome identifies the council’s chosen supplier and the commercial scale and delivery period for the replacement project.

This award shows demand from Rutland County Council for a complete, time-limited HVAC replacement service in an operational public-sector building. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine engineering design with the installation and commissioning of replacement air-conditioning systems, including the ability to address end-of-life VRV equipment and provide a practical replacement solution. Relevant firms are likely to be established commercial HVAC or building-services contractors able to manage design and site installation as one service, coordinate commissioning, and deliver within a defined project window. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can meet this type of council requirement. Experience of similar public or commercial premises would strengthen a future response.
