## Summary

Lancashire County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Service & Maintenance across the county of Lancashire. This procurement was conducted using an open procedure, split into two separate regional lots: North Lancashire and South Lancashire, with the goal to appoint one successful contractor for each region. The contract for this service covers both reactive and planned maintenance tasks, including gas and oil-fired heating, air conditioning units, and pressure systems, among others. The contract period is set to commence on 1st February 2026 and run until 31st January 2028, with a potential extension up to 2030. The service ensures 365-day, 24-hour call-out coverage for the required maintenance, making it crucial for continuous operation and safety of HVAC systems in the public sector.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the HVAC industry, particularly those capable of service provision across multiple components of heating and air conditioning systems. SMEs such as DFP SERVICES LIMITED, the awarded contractor for Lot 1, show that smaller enterprises can successfully vie for public contracts when exhibit capabilities and competitive advantage in quality and pricing. Given the nature of the service, businesses with expertise in mechanical engineering, air-conditioning appliances, and repair and maintenance services are well-suited to compete in future tenders. Additionally, the opportunity to serve in a secondary capacity in the opposite lot provides further potential for expanding operational reach and business growth.
