Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority located in Swindon, Wiltshire, involved the replacement of gas monitoring control panels at their facility in MRC Harwell. Categorised under services, specifically gas appliance maintenance services, the award was made under a direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition. The process concluded with the contract being signed on 30th October 2025, and the contract execution is scheduled from 5th January to 30th January 2026. The contract, valued at £33,240 excluding VAT, was then awarded to Gemlog Controls Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Storrington, United Kingdom.

Since the procurement was conducted without competition, businesses that excel in maintaining high-quality standards and reliability in delivering specialist services can leverage such opportunities to strengthen their portfolio and credibility. Moreover, companies based near the delivery location in the South East region may find logistical advantages in bidding for similar government tenders in the future.
