UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority located in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed a direct award procurement process for the replacement of low voltage (LV) panels on their site. The contract, valued at £125,286.25 (gross amount £150,343.5), was awarded to TES Power LTD, recognised for its SME status and expertise in manufacturing LV distribution panels, which are integral to the existing site infrastructure. The procurement was concluded on 5th February 2026, with the contract period spanning from 6th February to 3rd March 2026, and the panels are to be delivered to a designated location in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKD61 region.

The procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in manufacturing control panels and related electrical equipment. TES Power LTD's existing relationship with UKRI highlights the benefit of establishing a niche specialisation and maintaining compatibility with existing site standards. Businesses that can offer high-quality, reliable control panels and demonstrate their capability to meet site-specific requirements are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. This successful award underlines the potential benefits for businesses that can integrate bespoke solutions into standardised infrastructure systems, particularly in the public sector procurement landscape.
