## Summary

The Lancashire Constabulary has completed a tender process for the replacement of VRF units at the Preston Beacon Annex, located in the North West of England. This project, classified under heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation work, involved replacing obsolete Sanyo VRF units with new Panasonic units. The procurement method used was classified as 'Other', with the tender period ending on 17 February 2022, and the contract was executed from 18 February to 19 February 2022. The awarded contract, valued at £100,000, has been granted to The James Mercer Group.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in HVAC installation and maintenance services, particularly those capable of handling cranage and pipe work modifications. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to explore similar contracts as this project falls under the works category, suggesting a conducive environment for specialists in installation and construction within the public sector. Companies that can quickly mobilise and demonstrate expertise in installing HVAC systems would find this type of contract particularly appealing.

## Notice

Due to failure of components that are now obsolete the constabulary requires existing Sanyo VRF units changing on a like for like basis with the current Panasonic units. The existing units are located on the roof of the single-story Beacon Annexe. The existing units require removing from roof and site and the new units to be positioned in the existing location and pick up existing pipe work to the numerous indoor units. The successful contractor is to allow for all necessary cranage and any pipe work modifications.
