## Summary

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme is procuring works to install new air conditioning at Knutton Lane Depot Works, ST5 2SL, Newcastle-under-Lyme. The requirement covers air-conditioning installations and associated electrical installation work. The proposed layout includes three external condensing units mounted high on the Fire Station side, one at the rear and one on the opposite side of the building. The remaining units will be mounted at low level beside the front generator, allowing discreet positioning and access for maintenance. Protective security cages can be provided if required. The procurement is a single air-conditioning installation project for the council, with the work taking place at its Knutton Lane depot.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is one lot, with electronic submissions allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 September 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 22 September 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The contract period is 11 November to 11 December 2026, with a permitted short extension to 18 December 2026 for installation delays; renewal is allowed on that basis. Price accounts for 50% of the score and quality for 50%. Quality covers the delivery method statement and working-environment safety approach (30%), similar-project experience (30%), technical compliance including company and installation-team qualifications and accreditations (20%), and the delivery timetable (20%). Site visits are scheduled for 7 to 9 September 2026.

This opportunity suits air-conditioning and building-services contractors able to install external condensing units and complete the associated electrical works at an operational depot. It is specifically marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bidders need to show they can plan and deliver installation safely within a working environment and comply with the Borough Council’s Knutton Lane health and safety requirements. Relevant experience on similar air-conditioning projects is required, together with evidence of the technical qualifications and accreditations held by the company and its installation team. Suppliers should also be able to provide a clear method statement, a detailed delivery timetable and technically compliant equipment and installation. Contractors able to provide protective security cages, where required, may address an additional site requirement.
