## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority, acting as the buyer, concluded a procurement process titled "Comms Room Cooling Replacement Works" in the category of electrical installation work, specifically targeting the replacement of air-conditioning cooling systems for comms rooms vital to Greater Manchester Police's operations. The procurement method was limited, following an award procedure without prior publication of a competition call, and it falls outside the scope of certain directive applications. The award stage was completed with the contract signed on 23 February 2026, marking the project's active status. The procurement location is within the UKD3 region, and the regulated below threshold works contract was initially cancelled. The procurement's legal basis is tied to directive 2014/24/EU.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the installation and maintenance of electrical systems. Particularly, small to medium enterprises such as Oasis Air Conditioning Ltd, which secured the contract valued at £337,000, could anticipate growth and expansion in the public sector. Given the mission-critical nature of the cooling systems in 24/7 operational communications rooms, businesses with experience in reliable and efficient system replacements would be well-positioned for such contracts. The focus on regulated below threshold works and limited competition suggests that smaller firms with specialised expertise may thrive, while assisting the Greater Manchester Police in maintaining essential operations.

## Notice

The Comms Rooms house critical IT and communications equipment that must remain operational 24/7, the provision of cooling to the spaces is mission critical to the force and various aspects of their operations.
