Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation has successfully completed the procurement process, titled "UKRI-1491 Provision of Power Supply at Harwell," aimed at enhancing the electrical power systems design services for the MRC Harwell site in the United Kingdom. This tender was categorised under the services industry and was initially processed through a limited procurement method, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with a relevant contract awarded on 17 June 2021, amounting to £269,035.27, and is currently active.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical power systems and related services. Companies that can provide electrical infrastructure, design services, or support within highly regulated environments—such as utilities that have experience working near sensitive installations like nuclear decontamination sites—would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders. With the inclusion of both non-contestable and contestable work in the tender rationale, businesses that can navigate these complexities may find themselves in a strong position for future contracts in this sector.
