Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), situated in Swindon, Wiltshire, acting as the contracting authority for a call-off contract dealing with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) temporary heating works. The contract falls under the services category, particularly concerning facilities management services, with work primarily located in Keyworth, Nottinghamshire. The procurement was carried out through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as being outside the scope of the directive. The tender, identified as UKRI-1819_03, is currently in the award stage, and the contract was signed on 13th October 2025, with a total value of GBP 181,931.90. The procurement process is aligned with the General Procurement Agreement (GPA), and the award has been made to OCS MandE Services Limited.

This opportunity showcases potential avenues for businesses in the facilities management sector, especially those experienced with temporary heating solutions within the UK. Companies similar to OCS MandE Services Limited, which are large-scale service providers, may find prospects for future involvement in similar call-off contracts, especially under frameworks managed by large public bodies like UKRI. As UKRI is a major organisation engaged in research and development, businesses in the support services supply chain could benefit from such contracts, gaining a foothold in the public sector's sustainable infrastructure projects. With public bodies increasingly turning to private entities for specialised services, this contract underlines the critical role of competent, well-resourced businesses in meeting public needs efficiently and effectively.
