## Summary

Southampton Solent University procured works to replace two existing air-source heat pump systems. The scope covers the condensers, associated refrigerant pipework, reconfiguration of water pipework and indoor heat exchangers. Existing internal water pipework serving the underfloor heating and workshop remains in place. The equipment and installation work relate to heat-exchange units and pipe systems. Delivery is in Southampton, at the university’s site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Total Refrigeration Services Ltd. The university used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £29,805 excluding VAT (£35,766 including VAT). The award covers one lot and is active. The award date is not stated in the published process data.

This award demonstrates demand at Southampton Solent University for replacement of air-source heat pump equipment, including condenser and indoor heat exchanger work, refrigerant pipework and changes to associated water pipework. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to deliver this combination of mechanical installation and heat-pump replacement work, while working around existing building systems that are retained, including underfloor-heating and workshop pipework. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized refrigeration services business, indicating that a specialist SME was able to undertake this scale of university works. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so future market opportunities may be shaped by the university’s procurement approach.

## Notice

Replacement of the 2 no. existing ASHP systems. The replacement is for the condenser, associated refrigerant pipework, reconfiguring water pipework, and indoor heat exchanger only. The internal water pipework feeding the underfloor heating and the workshop is to remain in place.
