Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, initiated a procurement process under ID UKRI-5407 for the rewire of the Villas at ROE. The procurement process followed a direct award method due to the urgent need to replace critically unsafe electrical wiring, which posed immediate life and building safety risks. The contract was awarded to LIME M&E LTD, with the implementation completed by 31st March 2026. The procurement process was driven by an urgent necessity, and the project involved electrical wiring and fitting work in the industry category of works.

This contract presented substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the electrical engineering and construction industries, capable of handling urgent safety-driven projects. LIME M&E LTD, a large-scale enterprise based in Scotland, secured the contract, underscoring the potential for other businesses with specialised capabilities and rapid mobilisation capabilities to thrive in similar procurement contexts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UKRI-5407 Villas Rewire at ROE

Notice Description

The Villas Building is currently unoccupied due to an unsafe electrical wiring condition, which poses a serious risk to life and building safety. As a precaution, the building's power supply has been fully isolated, and over 25 staff have been decanted to temporary accommodation elsewhere on site. A full design for a new power, data, and lighting installation has been completed. Architectural and mechanical consultants have been engaged to ensure the new design aligns with actions identified in the building's Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Strategy.

Procurement Information

The building was found to have critically unsafe electrical wiring, creating an immediate risk to life and building safety. Power has been fully isolated and over 25 staff have been decanted to temporary accommodation. Due to the urgent need to make the building safe and operational, a competitive process could not be run without causing unacceptable delay and risk. A direct award was therefore made to address this unforeseen and extreme urgency.
