Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured specialist building management system services for the maintenance and servicing of one of its facilities. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services and associated software package and information systems. This is a Building Management Systems (BMS) service contract, focused on maintaining the systems that monitor and control building operations rather than general construction or facilities management. UKRI is the public-sector buyer, operating from Swindon. The contracted work is for a UKRI facility in the United Kingdom; the published procurement identifies the delivery area as the UKJ1 region but does not give a place name. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and concerns one facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. One lot was awarded to Laplace Building Solutions (South) Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 14 August 2025. Its recorded period runs from 1 September 2026 to 21 September 2026, while the requirement is described as a one-year maintenance and servicing arrangement. The contract value is £74,207 excluding VAT and £89,048.40 including VAT. The published outcome records the supplier selection and an active award. No competitive evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements are stated in the procurement data.

This procurement is relevant to specialist BMS companies able to maintain and service building management systems for a public-sector research organisation. Credible competitors would need practical capability in repairing and maintaining BMS equipment, together with the software and information systems used to operate or support those systems. Experience of working on a client’s live facility would help demonstrate service continuity, fault diagnosis and dependable maintenance delivery. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be handled by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national facilities provider. Suppliers assessing future UKRI requirements should be able to provide a complete BMS service, combining technical maintenance with the systems expertise needed to support building operations.
