UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency bought the supply and installation of a remote temperature monitoring system for a specific building at its site in Weybridge. The requirement is primarily for goods, including temperature probes, with associated installation to create a working monitoring system. The system is intended for use within APHA’s building and supports the agency’s operational temperature-monitoring needs. The buyer is the Animal and Plant Health Agency, with Defra Group Commercial managing the procurement. This is a focused equipment-and-installation requirement rather than a broad facilities-management or general information-technology contract. Businesses specialising in remote environmental monitoring, temperature sensors, probes, system installation and related equipment would be the closest fit for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Checkit Europe Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 1 May 2027, with a maximum extension date of 1 July 2027; the extension is time-only if required. Its value is £76,710.24 excluding VAT and £92,052.29 including VAT. The awarded requirement covers the remote temperature monitoring system and related probes. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the process provides limited evidence about formal scoring criteria or competitive bid requirements.

This award shows that APHA Weybridge purchases a complete remote temperature-monitoring solution, combining equipment with installation rather than buying standalone probes alone. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable temperature-monitoring hardware, provide probes and install the system within an operational agency building. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can deliver this type of requirement at the recorded scale. Relevant strengths would include practical experience integrating remote monitoring equipment, dependable installation capability and the ability to support a site-specific technical deployment. Businesses already supplying monitoring systems to laboratories, scientific facilities, regulated environments or other buildings where temperature control matters would have the most directly relevant experience for a comparable APHA requirement.
