## Summary

The University of Gloucestershire procured annual servicing and reactive maintenance for its air-conditioning and ventilation systems, air-source heat pumps, associated heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration plant, and controls. The requirement also includes TM44 inspections every five years. This is a building-services maintenance contract covering cooler-group systems and wider electrical and mechanical building installations. Work is for the University of Gloucestershire’s campuses in Cheltenham and Gloucester. The buyer is a public higher-education organisation. The requirement concerns ongoing maintenance and inspection of installed systems rather than the supply of new equipment or construction works. It is relevant to contractors providing planned and reactive HVAC, refrigeration, air-conditioning, ventilation, heat-pump and building-controls services across multiple campus sites.

The procurement is complete and an active contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The recorded contract value is £500,000. The contract was awarded to Industrial Refrigeration Services Limited. Three bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and all were submitted electronically. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, completed as a further competition through the Northern Housing Consortium dynamic purchasing system. An electronic auction was used. Bids were evaluated on price. The process contains one requirement grouping, whose recorded status is cancelled, alongside an active award and active contract; the published outcome nevertheless identifies the selected supplier and signed contract. The contract covers the servicing, inspections and reactive maintenance described above.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the University of Gloucestershire for a specialist contractor able to maintain air-conditioning and ventilation systems, air-source heat pumps, associated HVAC plant, refrigeration or cooler-group equipment, and controls across university campuses. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in both planned annual servicing and responsive fault repairs, together with the ability to carry out TM44 inspections at the required interval. The work suits an established small or medium-sized engineering business as well as a larger building-services contractor, provided it can coordinate multi-site delivery and maintain reliable response arrangements. Experience of public-sector or institutional environments, electronic tendering and competing through a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position. Price competitiveness was decisive for this requirement.
