UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), focuses on the full rewire of the S1 and S2 laboratories located in Swindon, Wiltshire. Classified under the "works" category, this project required electrical wiring work as identified by a recent EICR report. The process was conducted via a direct procurement method, below the threshold and without competition. The contracting stage has progressed to the award phase, with a contract having been signed on 9th September 2025 and the work scheduled from 10th September to 31st October 2025. The contract, valued at £30,169.85 gross, aims to ensure that the laboratories meet current electrical safety standards.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises specialising in electrical services and construction work. As the procurement was conducted directly and below threshold, the competition was limited, favouring businesses that can provide specialised and immediate services. Such projects benefit entities like Powertec Electrotechnical Services Ltd, which has been awarded this contract, showcasing the opportunities for companies that are prepared for swift and efficient tender responses in the public sector. Businesses familiar with public authority contracts, especially those within central government frameworks, are ideally positioned to benefit from similar opportunities in the future.
