The requirement covers installing a two-module chiller package at roof level, with the installation distributed across the upper roof, second floor and first floor. The works include the chiller and associated services, replacement of air-handling-unit cooling-coil pipework and valve arrangements, and installation of a buffer vessel, pumps and related equipment. This is a building-services and construction project involving cooling, refrigeration, mechanical installation and electrical fitting. The primary delivery location is the Grand Theatre, Swansea, and the buyer is a Welsh sub-central public authority. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with bids submitted electronically through the eTenderWales portal. Enquiries had to be submitted by 8 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 15 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 30 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT. Price carries 80% of the evaluation, based on the price list and compensation event assessment. Quality carries 20%: technical capability 4%, project specifics 5%, stakeholder engagement 3%, supply-chain and subcontractor management 2%, and compliance with CDM Regulations 2015 6%. This opportunity suits SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises with the capability to deliver commercial building-services works in a live theatre environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to have practical experience installing chillers, refrigeration and associated mechanical plant, including pumps, buffer vessels, air-handling-unit cooling coils, pipework and valves. Electrical installation and coordination across several floors and at roof level are also important. Bidders need to demonstrate technical capability and a project-specific delivery approach, engage effectively with stakeholders, and manage their supply chain and subcontractors. The evaluation places particular emphasis on compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so competent project planning, site coordination, health and safety management and appropriately qualified delivery teams will be important. ## Notice The works feature the installation of a chiller package (2 modules) at roof level of the Grand Theatre, Swansea.
