Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University of Exeter involved the supply and fitting of a new Emergency Lighting System. This contract falls under the "works" industry category, specifically construction work, and is located in Exeter, United Kingdom. The University of Exeter, identified by the public undertaking scheme GB-PPON, acted as the buyer. The process employed a direct procurement method, conducted below the threshold without competition, and the contract was awarded to Intoheat Ltd, an SME based in Exeter. The contract, signed on 10th July 2025, became active on 31st December 2025 and will conclude on 1st September 2026, with a total value of £44,400.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and building services, particularly those focusing on electric and emergency safety systems. SMEs with expertise in providing robust safety solutions and a track record of efficiently handling public sector contracts would find this type of procurement particularly beneficial. As the procurement method allowed direct entrustment, this opens avenues for businesses to engage closely with institutions like the University of Exeter on similar projects in the future without the full rigour of competitive tendering processes.
