Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) for a Building Management Service Contract. The contract is identified as UKRI-5172 and involves maintaining and servicing one of UKRI's facilities. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically focused on repair and maintenance as well as software package and information systems. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the South East region (UKJ1). The process has reached the award stage as of 14th August 2025, with the contract starting on 15th August 2025 and ending on 31st May 2026. This was a direct procurement method below the threshold, executed without competition, and the total contract value is £67,500 gross, with an actual amount of £56,250 (currency in GBP).

The awarded contract presents growth opportunities for businesses in the building management and maintenance services industry. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in Building Management Systems (BMS) could benefit from pursuing similar opportunities in the future. As this was conducted under a direct procurement method, it highlights the importance of already having a strong reputation and established relationships within the contracting framework to be considered for such opportunities. Companies with expertise in both hardware and software systems for building management would have the necessary skills to compete effectively in similar tenders aimed at facility maintenance and management.
