Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured fire detection nozzles for the RRS SDA requirement, described as supplies for Marine Consult North ApS under REFIT. The goods are classified as sprinkler systems and sit within the goods category. The requirement was managed by UKRI, a central government public authority. Marine Consult North ApS, based in Frederikshavn, Denmark, was the selected supplier. The procurement concerns specialist fire-protection equipment rather than installation, consultancy or general facilities management. It is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, distributors and marine-equipment suppliers able to provide fire detection nozzles or comparable sprinkler-system components for research or marine assets. The available description links the requirement specifically to the RRS SDA and REFIT context, so suppliers should assess their ability to support that type of operational environment.

The procurement reached completion and was awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Marine Consult North ApS. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and ran from 3 July to 9 October 2026. Its stated value was DKK 278,967 net and DKK 278,968 gross. The contract was terminated on 7 September 2026, with the rationale classified as contract completed; implementation ended on 24 August 2026. The reported final value was GBP 278,967 net and GBP 278,968 gross. The award information identifies goods as the procurement category and sprinkler systems as the item classification. No detailed quality, technical or weighted evaluation criteria are recorded; the route was a below-threshold award without competition.

This outcome indicates demand from UKRI for specialist fire-protection components connected with an RRS SDA and REFIT requirement. Suppliers most likely to be credible when a comparable requirement returns are manufacturers, authorised distributors and marine-equipment specialists with a dependable source of fire detection nozzles or sprinkler-system parts. Relevant capability would include understanding marine fire-safety applications, matching specified components accurately, and supplying equipment reliably for an operational research or marine environment. A competitor would also need the capacity to handle a public-sector purchase of this general scale and to work with UKRI’s procurement processes. The direct-award route shows that below-threshold requirements may be fulfilled without a competitive tender, making established supplier relationships, clear product fit and the ability to respond quickly commercially relevant.
