## Summary

Peterborough City Council has initiated and completed the procurement process for the replacement of the Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling system at the Vivacity Premier Fitness changing facilities. The contract, managed by HAMSON BARRON SMITH LIMITED, addresses necessary upgrades due to equipment failure, particularly important for a chlorinous environment such as a swimming pool. Procured under the "Below threshold - unknown" method, this project fits within the goods category, specifically focusing on water heaters and HVAC equipment [CPV codes: 39715000, 42500000], within the Peterborough area. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract commencing on 1st August 2025 and concluding by 31st March 2026. The contract was valued at £49,538, exclusive of additional costs, and awarded on 22nd July 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in heating, cooling, and air handling systems, particularly those with expertise in handling environments demanding robust anti-condensation and advanced air circulation solutions. As a Principal Designer has been appointed for the project, businesses involved in design, engineering, and construction management can effectively participate and broaden their portfolios in large-scale municipal projects. Moreover, companies looking to establish or expand their presence in the East of England could find working with a public authority like Peterborough City Council a beneficial strategic move.

## Notice

PL advised PCC that the existing air handling equipment serving the male and female changing rooms is defective and requires replacing. The need for replacement had been highlighted by an increased level of condensation occurring within the changing rooms and to the surface finishes, which has in turn led to mould growth occurring to the suspended ceilings. As a result of the increased condensation levels, PL had to close the centre for a short period of time to enable repairs to be undertaken and the mould removed from the surface finishes within the changing rooms. Following the investigations it was identified The inspections and testing of the existing, originally installed, air handling unit (AHU) serving the changing rooms at Vivacity Premier Fitness confirm the unit is not fit for purpose when assessed against accepted design standards. The unit is undersized versus accepted design criteria and therefore cannot achieve sufficient changes of air as recommended by industry guidance. The unit installed is not suitable for a chlorinous environment such as a swimming pool, which would accelerate a deterioration in the unit's condition. The existing AHU has been extended to serve the ground floor spin classroom, despite not being sufficiently large enough to serve the changing rooms alone. A replacement AHU is required and has been budgeted. HBS have been instructed to design, tender and manage the project, and have been appointed the Principal Designer throughout the project in accordance with the Building Safety Act.
