Bid Writing and Mentoring for HVAC Contractors

Across the UK, a wide range of HVAC contracts are regularly published by both public and private sector buyers. These opportunities cover the design, installation, and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for a variety of settings - from leisure centres and schools to manufacturing plants, hospitals, and office blocks. We consistently see high-value tenders for full HVAC system upgrades, ongoing maintenance frameworks, and specialist services like air handling, temperature control, and low-energy solutions.

Typical commercial HVAC contract opportunities include:

• Commercial and industrial air conditioning systems

• Heating and ventilation systems for public buildings

• Facilities maintenance contracts including HVAC servicing

• Building energy efficiency upgrades

• Sector-specific works such as HVAC for leisure facilities, hotels, and manufacturing sites

• Specialist installations such as evaporative cooling systems

These contracts may be single-site projects or multi-year frameworks, often requiring detailed method statements, technical experience, and evidence of past performance.
