Sci-Tech Daresbury HVAC PPM Contract

Client: Sci-Tech Daresbury Innovation Campus (part of UK Research and Innovation)

Sector: Industry & Technology / Research Campus

Service: HVAC Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

Overview

Sci-Tech Daresbury, one of the UK’s leading national science and innovation campuses supporting more than 150 businesses, has renewed Kimpton’s appointment to deliver comprehensive planned preventative maintenance (PPM) for its heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

The campus comprises a diverse portfolio of laboratories, specialist research facilities, offices and innovation spaces across 23 buildings, where reliable environmental control is essential to operational performance and compliance in mission-critical environments.

Scope of Works

Kimpton’s service covers ongoing responsibility for a large and varied HVAC asset base of over 450 individual items of plant, including systems that support specialist research spaces, comfort cooling and environmental control equipment.

The PPM contract includes routine maintenance visits tailored to system criticality, condition-based servicing and close monitoring to optimise equipment reliability and lifecycle performance.

Reappointment

Following a competitive tender process, Sci-Tech Daresbury has reappointed Kimpton to continue its HVAC PPM service — the second consecutive award of this contract since the original appointment in 2020. This reflects the trust and confidence the client places in Kimpton’s service delivery and technical expertise on site.

Challenges

Maintaining a large and diverse HVAC estate across a research campus presents unique challenges, including:

– Complex plant of varying ages and operational requirements

– Critical environmental control needs for specialist facilities

– Coordinating servicing around business continuity across multiple buildings

Kimpton’s experienced HVAC maintenance team uses structured PPM programmes and robust asset management systems to proactively manage these challenges and minimise breakdowns.

Outcome

The reappointment of the HVAC PPM contract at Sci-Tech Daresbury extends Kimpton’s long-standing relationship with the campus and reinforces its capability to deliver reliable, technical service solutions across large and complex estates.
