Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited procured works to create secure, resilient network connectivity within its National Physical Laboratory facility in Teddington. The requirement covered structured cabling between the Ground Floor Workshop, first-floor communications infrastructure and loft space. The scope included supplying and installing data racks, cable containment, structured data cabling and power supplies, together with modifications to electrical distribution boards, testing, commissioning and certification. This is specialist network infrastructure and electrical installation work, including computer cabling installation (CPV 45314320). The works support the facility’s operational and technical requirements. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. The procurement comprised one completed works lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold procedure. KINETIC IT LIMITED was selected for the single lot, with an award recorded as active. The award date was 9 July 2026. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and has a stated contract period from 9 July 2026 to 9 July 2026. Its value is £3,801,581 excluding VAT and £4,561,897 including VAT. The procurement was for works and the tender status is complete. The contracting organisation is NPL Management Limited. The published outcome records one supplier and one award for the structured cabling and associated electrical installation requirement.

This outcome demonstrates demand from NPL Management Limited for suppliers able to deliver integrated structured cabling and electrical installation in a specialist technical facility. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need practical capability in computer and network cabling, data-rack installation, cable containment, power supplies and electrical distribution-board modifications. It would also need to manage testing, commissioning and certification so that the installed infrastructure is secure, resilient and suitable for operational and technical use. The award to KINETIC IT LIMITED, identified as an SME, indicates that the requirement was deliverable by an experienced specialist rather than only a large contractor. Relevant firms should be able to coordinate network infrastructure and electrical works as a single package for this buyer.
