Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured VESDA installation services, classified as installation services for fire protection equipment. The requirement concerns installing VESDA equipment as part of fire protection provision. UKRI is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the shared services provider and managing the procurement. The work is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement rather than a supply-only or construction contract, and is relevant to businesses that install fire protection systems or related detection equipment. The named requirement is CSP26758 - VESDA installation, indicating a focused installation project rather than a broad facilities-management service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. PYROTEC SERVICES LIMITED was awarded the contract, with a net value of £21,971.33 and a gross value of £26,365.60. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. The award covers the fire protection equipment installation requirement. The recorded procurement method was limited competition, used below the applicable threshold. The available outcome shows one successful supplier and an active contract; the process is therefore an awarded procurement rather than an opportunity for new submissions.

This procurement provides a clear reference point for fire protection and VESDA installation businesses tracking UKRI’s requirements. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience installing fire protection equipment, with the technical capability to deliver a defined VESDA installation rather than only supplying equipment. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a business at that scale. Firms should also be able to work with a central-government research organisation and its shared-services procurement provider, understand limited-competition procedures, and manage short, discrete installation projects. The requirement is specific, so relevant installation experience is more important than a broad but unrelated facilities-services offer.
