Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process has been completed by THE PIRBRIGHT INSTITUTE, a public authority operating under the sub-central government category, for the rental of a containerised/trailer steam boiler house. Situated in Woking, United Kingdom, the institute issued a contract to address the requirement for uninterrupted steam supply, vital for ongoing scientific work and maintaining heating and hot water provisions at its facilities. The procurement followed a 'direct' method without competition, being a below-threshold process. The contract, valued at £35,610 (grossing to £42,732 with VAT), was signed on 28th November 2025, with its active period running from 8th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The process culminated in January 2026 with the award notice published.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experienced in boiler hiring and installation to potentially grow their market presence by providing infrastructure solutions for scientific research institutions. The contract award to CJB Commissing Services, a SME based in Alconbury, Huntingdon, suggests that similar businesses with capabilities in supplying and maintaining boilers would be well-placed to compete for similar contracts in future procurement rounds by public authorities like THE PIRBRIGHT INSTITUTE. This contract highlights the importance of reliable partnerships for ensuring operational continuity in research environments, which is beneficial for companies specialising in niche industrial equipment leasing and services.
