The Student Revolving Loan Fund Management Committee (SRLFMC) in Barbados is seeking proposals for a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade involving the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a Variable Refrigerant Volume/Flow (VRV/F) System integrated with an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system for their office complex located at #9, 5th Avenue Belleville, St. Michael. This procurement opportunity aims to replace an existing inefficient climate control system with a modern, energy-efficient solution that includes specialized exhaust systems for the lunchroom and washrooms. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was released on August 25, 2025, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for September 1, 2025, and a final submission deadline of September 19, 2025. Vendors must provide a detailed proposal including company profile, project team qualifications, relevant project experience, comprehensive cost breakdown, payment terms, project timeline, employee training plan, warranties, and technical specifications. Evaluation criteria will encompass technical compliance, vendor qualifications, pricing and value, warranty and support, and project management capabilities, with the selection process scheduled for September 20-24, 2025, and vendor notification expected on September 25, 2025. The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. While the RFP does not mention disadvantaged enterprise requirements, it does emphasize comprehensive vendor qualifications and experience. The SRLFMC, established in 1977 as a State-Owned Enterprise within the Ministry of Training & Tertiary Education, reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, and participation in the RFP does not guarantee future contract opportunities. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure are detailed in the documentation. The RFP does not specify a precise contract value or budget range, leaving financial proposals open to vendor interpretation. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in HVAC systems, particularly Variable Refrigerant Volume/Flow and Energy Recovery Ventilator technologies, and provide a comprehensive proposal that meets the organization's technical and operational requirements.
