HVAC — Public Tenders
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) plays a central role in both construction and facility management. In the public procurement context, it covers the design, installation, and maintenance of ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems in public buildings. Demand is rising continuously, driven by tougher energy efficiency requirements and the German Buildings Energy Act (GEG).
Typical tenders in the HVAC sector
- Installation of an HVAC system in a new hospital building
- Replacement of the air-conditioning system in a public-sector data centre
- Ventilation upgrades for classrooms in school buildings
- Maintenance and servicing of air-conditioning systems in public buildings (facility management)
- Installation of a refrigeration system for a university laboratory building
- Energy refurbishment of the ventilation system in an indoor swimming pool

- 50730000 — Repair and maintenance services of cooler groups
Challenges in finding tenders
HVAC tenders sit at the interface between construction and facility management. New installations are awarded as construction works under VOB/A, whereas maintenance and operations contracts are tendered as services under VgV. Companies covering both areas must search across different procurement categories.
On top of that, HVAC is often subsumed under the umbrella term "building services engineering" (TGA) or "building technology". The specific ventilation and air-conditioning lots are then only visible in the tender documents, not in the contract notice itself. Without an in-depth analysis of the lot structure, many contracts go undetected.
