UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is seeking a specialist service provider for high- and low-voltage electrical maintenance, inspection and testing across the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) estate in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive responses, remedial works and associated services for high- and low-voltage infrastructure. The work is classified as repair and maintenance of electrical and mechanical building installations (CPV 50710000), although the stated scope focuses on electrical infrastructure. The contract is intended to support a long-term service-provider partnership, with key performance indicators and value-for-money objectives. This is a services opportunity for electrical engineering, facilities maintenance and testing contractors able to work across the relevant STFC estate.

The procurement has reached tender: UKRI invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission permitted through its Atamis eSourcing platform. The enquiry deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12 noon, and the tender submission deadline is 7 September 2026 at 12 noon. The planned award decision date is 7 October 2026. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2030, with a renewal arrangement described as 4+1 and a maximum extent to 1 December 2031. The estimated value is £4,250,000 excluding VAT, or £5,100,000 including VAT. Quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting and cost 30%. The single lot is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits specialist electrical maintenance providers with the technical capability to inspect, test, maintain and repair both high- and low-voltage infrastructure. Competitors should be able to deliver planned preventative maintenance alongside responsive call-outs and remedial works, covering the infrastructure described in the specification. The requirement is relevant to contractors with established operational capacity for an estate-wide service, rather than firms offering only isolated testing or minor electrical repairs. Experience of managing ongoing maintenance relationships, coordinating planned and reactive work, and demonstrating reliable service performance will be important, given the intended partnership approach and use of key performance indicators. The procurement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the quality-led evaluation favours suppliers able to evidence robust service methods and technical delivery.
