Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council procured works to replace air-conditioning units serving the server room at Cavendish Road in Stevenage. The requirement covers heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work, with the practical purpose of maintaining suitable environmental conditions for server-room operations. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located in Stevenage, within the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than a broader programme of works. It is relevant to contractors that install, replace or maintain air-conditioning systems in operational buildings, particularly where reliable temperature control is important for technical or server-room environments. The recorded classification is installation work rather than the supply of standalone equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. PITKIN & RUDDOCK LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Its value is £28,625 excluding VAT, or £34,350 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records the requirement as works, evaluated through a limited competition rather than an open procedure. This is a completed procurement, so the commercial evidence lies in the buyer’s chosen route, the appointed supplier and the scale and duration of the resulting contract rather than in an opportunity to submit a response now.

This award shows that Stevenage Borough Council buys specialist air-conditioning replacement works for critical technical spaces through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation, including replacing units that serve server-room environments. The work calls for contractors able to operate in an occupied public-sector setting and deliver dependable temperature-control infrastructure, although the published requirement does not set out particular accreditations or staffing qualifications. PITKIN & RUDDOCK LIMITED is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant firms should be prepared to demonstrate comparable installation experience, reliable delivery and the capacity to support the council’s operational facilities.
