Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen is procuring replacement data centre cooling controls. The requirement is for goods associated with upgrading or replacing the control equipment used to manage cooling in a data centre, with the detailed technical scope set out in the Invitation to Tender. Delivery is associated with Aberdeen, where the university is based. The contract is intended to include the replacement works or supply activity and subsequent maintenance arrangements. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers of data centre cooling control systems, building management and environmental control equipment, specialist engineering contractors, and businesses able to support cooling-control installations in an operational data centre environment.

The procurement has reached tender: the University of Aberdeen invited suppliers to submit proposals through an open procedure. It is arranged as one lot, with bids to be submitted electronically in English. The submission deadline set by the buyer is 19 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time and evaluation scheduled to start then. The contract period is 360 days. The tender allows renewal, with a one-year maintenance period following expiry of the warranty. Bids must remain valid until 31 May 2027. The tender does not allow variants. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical expertise in data centre cooling controls and the ability to replace or integrate control equipment within a live, technically demanding environment. Relevant businesses may include controls manufacturers, systems integrators, mechanical and electrical engineering contractors, building-management-system specialists, and firms providing commissioning, monitoring or maintenance support. The requirement is likely to favour suppliers able to manage the full replacement lifecycle, from technical design and equipment supply through installation, testing and handover, followed by planned maintenance after the warranty period. Businesses should be able to provide suitably qualified engineering personnel, coordinate work safely on a university site, and support reliable cooling operation for critical data-centre infrastructure.
