## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has concluded the procurement process for the maintenance and reactive work of Air Cooled Chillers and Close Control Units (CCUs), appointing Lovat's Group Ltd for the Air Cooled Chillers and Celsius Cooling Ltd for the CCUs, each responsible for a specific lot within the university's estate. The procurement was conducted through a Restricted Procedure, a selective method involving a two-stage tender process. The contract, valued at £1,250,000, extends over an initial period of three years, from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2029, with the possibility of two one-year extensions, potentially lasting until 31st January 2031. The focus falls under the Repair and Maintenance Services industry category, with the scope encompassing locations across the UKM75 region, primarily covering the University’s varied campuses.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specializing in HVAC and repair services with proven capabilities in maintenance and reactive work for complex systems like air cooled chillers and CCUs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as the awarded companies, may find this tender especially fitting due to its substantial scope and specialization requirement. The tender evaluation heavily weighted technical expertise at 70%, complemented by a 30% consideration for pricing, setting a precedence for quality deliverables. Firms capable of offering sophisticated technical solutions while maintaining competitive pricing are well suited to compete for similar opportunities, enhancing their market presence within the public sector’s educational facilities management domain.
