## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority, located in Reading, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the provision of chillers for air conditioning, focusing on repairing one of the four circuits critical for emergency communication systems. This process falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of cooler groups. The award stage is now complete, with the contract active since 9th September 2025 and scheduled to run until 24th July 2027. The procurement method was limited, indicating a below-threshold competition, and the contract has been signed for a gross amount of £47,945.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for service providers specialising in HVAC systems and maintenance services. Companies like Acorn Managed Services, which have the capability to handle large-scale repair and maintenance tasks, are ideally suited for such tenders due to the critical nature of the work involved and the need for seamless service delivery to prevent disruptions in emergency communication networks.

## Notice

The Authority HQ requires Chillers for Air Conditioning in order to allow functionality of the service especially the service rooms. There are four circuits and one needs a repair otherwise there is no possible functionality for the chillers to cool the building. It affects the server rooms and if these go down, it will affect HQ and the network to the whole service which is critical to the turnout of emergency communications when emergencies are called through. The contract was awarded through 3 quote price only evaluation.
