## Summary

The Department for Transport in the UK has awarded a contract for the "IMO Chiller Works Package" to Star Refrigeration Limited. The project involves urgent upgrades and remedial work for bespoke chillers, with a focus on electrical installation work of pumping equipment. The contract has been classified as works and was procured through a limited negotiation process. The award was made to ensure compatibility with existing equipment and to meet critical refurbishment needs within an eight to ten week timescale.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specializing in electrical installation work of pumping equipment to engage. The bespoke nature of the chillers and the need for familiarity with the existing system favour suppliers with expertise in this area. Companies with experience in urgent refurbishment projects and involvement in similar industry categories are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to safeguard the continued operation of the chillers within a specified timescale.

## Notice

Urgent upgrades and remedial work required for bespoke chillers. The contract is to be awarded to the designer/manufacturer of the bespoke chiller system.

### Lot Information

Urgent upgrades and remedial work required for bespoke chillers. The contract is to be awarded to the designer/manufacturer of the bespoke chiller system.

### Procurement Information

In 2007 Star Refrigeration manufactured and installed/commissioned two bespoke roof top chillers at the site. The equipment is now 15 years old and deemed as approaching the end of its 20-year service life. An intrusive review of the equipment by the Department's appointed Managing Agent for the site in collaboration with Star Refrigeration in 2022 concluded that there is currently no requirement to replace this equipment in its entirety, due to the investment in maintenance that has been provided over the years. However, there is a need for urgent refurbish including the replacement of some of the critical components to safeguard continued operation of the chillers. A direct award to Star Refrigeration is proposed due to ensure compatibility of new/refurbished critical parts with the existing equipment. Given the bespoke nature of the chillers, we believe the timescale required for familiarisation with the bespoke system and the need to purchase Star Refrigeration manufactured components will limit the ability of other chiller manufacturers to make a competitive offer and undertake the work required within an eight to ten week timescale (where the building can rely on free-cooling) to complete the work ahead of the warmer summer months.
