Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured the removal and replacement of data-centre cooling units, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and associated battery strings, together with ongoing maintenance of the data-centre equipment. This is a combined equipment supply, installation and maintenance requirement, classified under power-supply equipment (CPV 31154000). The work is for the Council’s data-centre facilities in East Dunbartonshire, with the buying organisation based in Kirkintilloch. The requirement covers one lot and includes both replacement works and maintenance services, although its main category is goods. It is therefore relevant to suppliers able to provide resilient data-centre cooling and power infrastructure, remove existing equipment, install replacement systems and support the equipment after installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the contract was awarded to Advanced Power Technology for the sole lot. The award was made on 23 June 2026 and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract value is £210,310. The contract period is 1,800 days, described as 36 months with two possible 12-month extensions. Evaluation included economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability, assessed on a pass/fail basis. Bidders needed average annual turnover of £200,000 over the previous three years, employers’ liability insurance of £10 million and product liability insurance of £5 million. Technical responses had to demonstrate relevant previous experience, capacity and capability delivering similar work for similar clients.

This award indicates a requirement suited to established data-centre infrastructure specialists rather than general equipment traders. Credible suppliers would need practical capability in cooling systems, UPS equipment and battery strings, including safe removal, replacement, commissioning and maintenance. The Council’s assessment placed weight on demonstrable experience, knowledge, skills, capacity and capability delivering comparable work for comparable clients, so evidence from public-sector or similarly critical facilities would strengthen a future response. Financial resilience and appropriate insurance arrangements are also important, as is the ability to manage equipment maintenance after installation. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a suitably capable specialist can compete without being a large national contractor. Electronic ordering, payment and invoicing support a structured service relationship with the Council.
