UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by The Pirbright Institute, located at Pirbright Laboratory, Ash Road, Woking, United Kingdom, involved the tender for "Site HV/LV Supplies Maintenance." This project, falling under the services category, covers electrical machinery and maintenance services and was intended to commence in August 2025. Initially set to conclude its tendering phase by 22 July 2025, the process was unexpectedly cancelled on 22 December 2025. The cancellation resulted from a reassessment of the contract's scope and requirements, and thus the procurement status was marked complete with plans to re-tender the opportunity according to standard procedures. The procurement method used was an open competition, structured to engage a single supplier, allowing submissions through a specified online platform.

This tender initially presented valuable opportunities for businesses involved in electrical machinery and maintenance services. Companies specialising in electrical engineering and testing, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) systems, were well-positioned to contend, given the requirement for these technical services. The re-tendering of this opportunity indicates a forthcoming market need that eligible businesses can prepare for, positioning themselves strategically to fulfil the contract requirements effectively when it is reopened. The reassessment indicates a realignment of objectives that might require enhanced technical proposals, providing an additional competitive edge for businesses poised with innovation and quality assurance in related technical fields.
