Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the maintenance service of the Super Computer Centre was managed by UK Research & Innovation, located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, UK. This one-year contract was originally awarded to Sudlows to provide a comprehensive facilities management package at the data centre facility in Daresbury Laboratory, commencing on 21st May 2025 and concluding on 21st May 2026. The direct award method was utilised due to technical reasons associated with existing warranties and guarantees, which would incur significant costs and delays if transferred. This contract was valued at £274,818.17 gross and was completed as of May 2026.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in providing repair and maintenance services of building installations, particularly those with expertise in managing complex data centre facilities. Companies with capabilities to deliver comprehensive facilities management can significantly benefit from participating in such procurement processes, as it involves not only maintaining but also enhancing the infrastructure necessary for efficient operation. The detailed specifications and the necessity for technical competency favour businesses with substantial resources and experience in handling high-value service contracts.
