## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent initiated a procurement process titled "Kent Police Lecture Theatre Ventilation," focusing on ventilation and air-conditioning installation work at the Kent Police College in Maidstone. The procurement originally planned for a contract from 27th February 2026 to 31st March 2026, fell under the 'works' industry category. Although the procurement was initially planned with an open competition method below the threshold, the tender status was ultimately withdrawn on 17th June 2026 due to submissions exceeding the available budget. With a gross value of £240,000, and a net budget of £200,000, it aimed to replace a defective air handling unit. The planning stage was opened to the public on 2nd December 2025, with tender submissions initially ending on 19th January 2026.

This procurement process provided opportunities for businesses specializing in ventilation and air-conditioning installation, particularly those suitable as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). An open procurement method was advantageous for businesses experienced in public sector contracts that could deliver projects within budgetary constraints. Despite the withdrawal of this tender due to financial limitations, organisations with the capability to propose cost-efficient solutions may find future opportunities with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent, as there is a recognised need for improvements in facility management and infrastructure maintenance within this sector. The project's regional focus also suggested opportunities for local businesses to engage and expand within the South East region of the UK.
