Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located at Polaris House, Swindon, Wiltshire, initiated a procurement process for the "UKRI-5550 LV Panel Replacement" tender. This project falls under the industry category of control panels, specifically focusing on replacing low-voltage panels. The contract was awarded to TES Power LTD, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Cookstown. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method due to TES Power's existing involvement with the site's low-voltage distribution panels. The formal contract period started on 6th February and ended on 3rd March 2026. Key dates to note include the award notification dated 5th February 2026, finishing with a contract termination notice published on 9th June 2026, as the contract had been completed successfully prior to the termination.

This tender presented a vital opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical goods and control panel manufacturing. Firms that are familiar with the established standards and equipment at UKRI sites could find similar future opportunities appealing. SMEs with existing ties to UKRI's systems or expertise in upgrading or maintaining low-voltage panels would have been well-positioned to benefit and grow from such contracts. For businesses looking for growth, aligning with sectorial capabilities and maintaining compliance with specific standards like those established by UKRI can enhance competitive advantage.
