Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being conducted by UK Research & Innovation for the "UKRI-1871 MRC LMB Electrical Services" contract, classified under the category of repair and maintenance services of electrical installations. The contract was awarded to Drax Ltd with a total value of £235,000. This award follows a procurement method described as "limited," indicating an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme urgency arising from unforeseen circumstances. The contract commenced on 1st January 2022 and is set to provide continuity until a new compliant tender process is initiated in January 2023, following a review of service requirements that was delayed by external factors such as Covid restrictions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical service maintenance and related works. Companies that focus on repair and maintenance services for electrical installations, machinery, and distribution equipment would be well-suited to compete in the upcoming procurement process. As UKRI aims to ensure a transparent competitive environment aimed at providing value for money, this will enable businesses to showcase their capabilities while contributing to effective service delivery within the public sector.

Notice Description

MRC LMB Electrical Service Maintenance Contract

Lot Information

Lot 1

Contract with Drax Ltd for the continuation of the current service for Electrical Services Maintenance. Awarded as per below VEAT notice. https://ukri.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=649996077

Procurement Information

This contract award is to allow continuation of the current service for Electrical Services Maintenance. The contract start date is 1st January 2022 for a period of one year to allow the Contracting Authority sufficient time to complete a review of its service requirements and conduct a compliant tender process for the new contract which will commence in January 2023. UKRI had intended to complete a review of the service requirements and undertake a full procurement process during 2021, however limitations and lack of suitable resource due to the Covid restrictions have delayed this process. We consider that it is in the best interest of both the authority, and economic operators. It will allow for the opportunity to be tendered in a fair and transparent process to establish value for money. Crucially it ensures that the future procurement process complies fully with our obligations under The Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
