Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council procured works to replace the air-handling unit at Kincorth Sports Centre in Aberdeen (CPV 45331000). The requirement covered removal and dismantling, installation of the replacement unit and associated ductwork, dampers, pipework and valves, automatic controls, thermal insulation, builders’ work connected with the services, minor electrical works, testing, commissioning and handover. It also included asbestos surveys and removals, together with maintenance during the defects liability period. The work was categorised as construction works and was arranged as a single requirement. The successful contractor was expected to deliver the complete mechanical and associated building-services package rather than supplying equipment alone, including setting the systems to work and demonstrating their performance.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Aberdeen City Council used an open procedure for one lot. The tender deadline and bid opening were 17 July 2026 at 12:00, with bids required in English and valid for 90 days; variants were not allowed. Three bids were received, all from SMEs, and all were submitted electronically. Richard Irvin FM Limited was selected for the requirement, and the contract was signed on 11 September 2026 for £263,819.67. The stated contract period was 120 days, while the scope also included maintenance for a 12-month defects liability period. The procurement was marked complete, with no renewal or additional-purchase option recorded.

This award indicates demand from Aberdeen City Council for integrated HVAC replacement and building-services works in an operational sports-centre setting. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would combine air-handling-unit replacement with ventilation, ductwork, dampers, heating pipework and valves, automatic controls, insulation, minor electrical works and builders’ work. Credible delivery capability would include safe removal and disposal arrangements, asbestos surveying and removal competence, coordinated testing and commissioning, and the ability to provide planned defects-liability maintenance. The successful market comprised SMEs, showing that the package was accessible to smaller specialist contractors, provided they could manage the full installation, coordination, handover and aftercare requirements rather than only one technical element.
