## Summary

The Orkney Islands Council is currently managing a procurement process for the project titled "Air Conditioning Replacement at The Orkney Library and Archive." This project falls under the works category in the construction industry and is located in Kirkwall, Orkney, UK. The procurement method selected is a restrictive tender procedure and is currently in the award stage, having previously been active with a submission deadline of 1 October 2018. The contract has been awarded, with a total value of £109,618.40, and was officially signed on 18 January 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in HVAC installations and general construction services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in air conditioning systems, particularly those holding necessary certifications like F-Gas Certification, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in such contracts can facilitate business growth by expanding service offerings and enhancing visibility in the public sector.

## Notice

The existing air conditioning units in the archive rooms of The Orkney Library and Archive are beyond their expected lifetime and are failing. New indoor supply units and outdoor condenser units are to be installed as direct replacements in the four archive rooms.
