Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, has completed the procurement process for the supply of AHU Direct Drive Fan and Motor Assemblies for the British Antarctic Survey. The contract, awarded without competition through a direct procurement method under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, is valued at £44,539.36. This contract, falling under the goods category with a specific focus on ventilation equipment, was signed on 10th June 2026, with a delivery schedule from 15th June 2026 to 30th October 2026. Delivery will occur within the United Kingdom, specifically in the region UKH12.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial ventilation equipment, particularly those capable of delivering high-standard goods without the need for competitive tendering processes. Large-scale suppliers, similar to the awarded contractor Aeron AS from Norway, are particularly well-suited to benefit from such direct procurement methods. The project enables qualified firms to forge strong relationships with UKRI, enhancing their credentials and footprint within the public sector, particularly in handling projects with significant geographical challenges such as those associated with the British Antarctic Survey.
