Summary of the contracting process

The Pirbright Institute, a sub-central government public authority based in Woking, UK, has completed a procurement process for a three-year service contract titled "Brooksby Secondary Monitoring System (SMS) 3 Year Service Contract." This contract falls under the services industry category, focusing on alarm-monitoring and environmental monitoring services. The contract period spans from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029, with the procurement method being direct and classified as below threshold, executed without competition due to the proprietary nature of the system. The total contract value is £135,748.80, with a net amount of £113,124.00. The contract was awarded to Eurotherm Limited, located in West Sussex, UK, and was signed on 21st April 2026.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in monitoring services, particularly those with experience in handling proprietary systems and providing continuous environmental monitoring and data acquisition solutions. Companies that can ensure operational continuity and regulatory compliance are well-suited to engage with similar projects. Although this specific contract was awarded due to technical constraints favouring a single supplier, it highlights the importance of maintaining strong technological capabilities and fostering relationships with public authorities to secure future opportunities in the sector.
