This tender, under the industry category "Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work" with additional classification for heat pumps, invites competitive bids until 24 April 2026. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, employing an open procedure method below the threshold. The contract work is scheduled to commence on 30 June 2026 and conclude by 4 September 2026. Contractors are required to demonstrate competence under the CDM Regulations to ensure safe site management. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in HVAC systems to showcase their expertise in executing projects in operational public buildings. Firms with a history of minimal disruption to services during live environment projects will find this particularly advantageous. The contract's value of £174,000 provides a tangible growth opportunity for larger, accredited firms equipped to handle such installations efficiently. As small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not the primary target, larger companies with substantial project management capabilities would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council invites suitably qualified and accredited Principal Contractors to submit a tender for the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) at Ashbourne Library and Hub. The appointed Principal Contractor will be responsible for the full delivery of the works, including coordination, installation, commissioning, and handover of the Air Source Heat Pump systems in line with all relevant statutory, technical, and safety requirements. Contractors must be able to demonstrate the necessary competence, experience, and accreditation to act as Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations, ensuring safe management of the site and all associated construction activities. The works will be delivered within an operational public building, and bidders must therefore provide clear evidence of their ability to plan, manage, and execute projects in live environments with minimal disruption to services. Further details, including the specification, drawings, and pricing documents, are available within the tender pack. Derbyshire County Council expects all contractors to fully familiarise themselves with the site and project requirements before tendering. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21e4133-1552-4cbc-93be-829e91f38b00 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 24 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jun 2026 - 4 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £174,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 42511110 - Heat pumps - 45331000 - Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning installation work ## Release History - 27 Mar 2026 at 12:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21e4133-1552-4cbc-93be-829e91f38b00 - 27 Mar 2026 at 12:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c4bf6c7-4e67-49f7-a344-5f1550967e28 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e21e4133-1552-4cbc-93be-829e91f38b00 27th March 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c4bf6c7-4e67-49f7-a344-5f1550967e28 27th March 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=befdfc43-d529-f111-813c-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
