Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) bought replacement destratification fans for its warehouse facility in Wakefield. The work covered removal and disposal of existing fans and the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of 44 replacements. The supplier was also required to provide all labour, materials and equipment, together with the mechanical and electrical work needed for a fully operational system. A five-year service and maintenance agreement for all installed fans forms part of the requirement. This is a combined equipment and installation project, with ongoing maintenance, rather than a supply-only purchase. The equipment falls within the broader category of fans and air-conditioning appliances (CPV 39717000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to E 2 M (UK) Limited. YPO used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2031. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The requirement was procured as one lot, covering the fan replacement and installation work and the associated five-year service and maintenance agreement. The published outcome identifies an active award and contract. No separate evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

For comparable future work at YPO, a credible supplier would need to deliver a complete warehouse fan replacement, not merely provide equipment. Relevant capability includes safely removing and disposing of existing fans, supplying and installing replacements, and carrying out testing and commissioning. The supplier must be able to provide the labour, materials and equipment, and coordinate the mechanical and electrical work required to leave the system operational. The requirement also demonstrates YPO’s need for ongoing servicing and maintenance across the installed equipment, so suppliers able to support the full system over a multi-year period are better aligned than firms focused on one-off installation. The award went to a Wakefield-based SME through a direct, non-competitive route; it does not establish a competitive evaluation model for future purchases.
