UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured replacement Vertiv busbar parts for its electrical distribution or control apparatus. The requirement covers the supply of parts only; fitting and installation are excluded. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or installation contract. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The parts fall under CPV 31230000, covering parts of electricity distribution or control apparatus. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised distributors, specialist electrical equipment suppliers and stockists able to identify and provide compatible Vertiv busbar components. The buyer is UKRI, a central government public authority, so the requirement is relevant to suppliers serving public-sector estates, research infrastructure or other institutional electrical systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SSE COMMERCIAL LTD. One award covers the single lot. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026, with an award value of £83,791.80 excluding VAT and £100,550.22 including VAT. The contract period runs from 25 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. The selected supplier is SSE COMMERCIAL LTD. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies the requirement as the supply of Vertiv busbar parts. The contract is active, while the associated tender is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined UKRI requirement for replacement Vertiv busbar parts, with a substantial single-order scale and a supply-only delivery model. A future competitor would need dependable access to genuine or technically compatible Vertiv components, strong product identification and sourcing capability, and the capacity to fulfil a complete parts requirement without relying on installation services. Experience supplying electrical distribution or control apparatus would help establish technical credibility, particularly where component compatibility, specifications and replacement accuracy matter. Suppliers with established public-sector or institutional procurement processes, reliable logistics and the ability to support direct-award or below-threshold purchasing routes would be well placed when UKRI next needs this type of replacement equipment.
