Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a sub-central government public authority, initiated a tender for "Ventilation Plant and Equipment Maintenance Services" based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure with key timelines initially set with a tender period ending on 12th May 2025, later extended to 13th May 2025 due to additional site visits. Although the tender reached the status of being completed, the award was cancelled as of 13th August 2025, with plans to reissue the tender to update requirements. The industry category is primarily focused on services related to ventilation equipment and maintenance, and the procurement was covered under agreements like GPA and CPTPP.

This tender offers significant business growth potential, particularly for companies specialising in the maintenance of ventilation systems, HVAC installations, and mechanical building services. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong management plan, quality assessment capabilities, and commitment to health and safety will be well-positioned to compete. SMEs are encouraged to apply, and the tender provides the possibility for a three-year extension in one-year increments, making it a lucrative opportunity for sustained business growth. Given the contract's substantial value of up to £720,000, companies interested in capitalising on public sector expansion should prepare to engage with procurement opportunities like this.
