## Summary

East Suffolk Services Limited bought the supply and installation of wall-mounted air-conditioning equipment for its new office site at Bentwaters. East Suffolk Council managed the procurement. The equipment was intended for the new office premises, and the recorded delivery location is in Suffolk. The requirement combines supply of the units with installation, so it concerns suppliers able to provide and fit air-conditioning equipment rather than equipment supply alone. This was a single-lot procurement for goods. The selected supplier, Pitkin & Ruddock (Ipswich) Limited, is based in Lowestoft, reflecting the local market for this type of building equipment work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pitkin & Ruddock (Ipswich) Limited. The award date is not recorded; the contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 4 January 2027. Its value is £25,966 excluding VAT (£31,159.20 including VAT). The process used limited competition and was described as below-threshold. There was one lot, and the published outcome records one successful supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition process; no specific award scoring criteria are recorded in the procurement details. The contract is active.

For suppliers competing for comparable East Suffolk Services Limited requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a combined air-conditioning equipment supply and installation service at an office site in Bentwaters. A credible competitor would need to source suitable wall-mounted air-conditioning units and deliver a complete installation at a new office premises. The selected supplier is a Lowestoft-based small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a regional specialist can serve this type of requirement. Businesses should be equipped to handle a focused, single-site goods-and-installation job and compete through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. Relevant experience in supplying and fitting building air-conditioning equipment would align closely with the work purchased; the procurement outcome does not establish further technical, accreditation or capacity requirements.
