UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured a remote temperature monitoring system agreement for its estate. The requirement covers the supply of the monitoring system, installation support and ongoing service provision. It is primarily a goods requirement involving electrical equipment and apparatus, with associated installation and servicing. The work is for the Department for Education’s estate, managed by the department as the buying organisation. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of remote temperature monitoring equipment, electrical monitoring systems and related installation and support services. The scope combines the provision of equipment with practical implementation support and continuing service delivery, rather than being limited to a one-off equipment supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following below-threshold limited competition. It was arranged as one lot. Withnell Sensors Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 May 2026 and runs from 21 June 2026 to 21 May 2031. Its value is £21,550.50 excluding VAT, or £25,860.60 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a limited competition rather than an open procedure. This outcome shows a relatively small, defined public-sector purchase combining equipment, installation support and service provision over a five-year period. The buyer is the Department for Education.

This procurement indicates demand from the Department for Education for remote temperature monitoring across its estate, combining electrical equipment with installation support and continuing service provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply suitable monitoring systems, understand electrical equipment and apparatus, and provide reliable installation support. It would also need the operational capability to maintain or service the system over a multi-year agreement, not simply deliver hardware. The incumbent is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist supplier rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant businesses are therefore specialist monitoring-system manufacturers, distributors, installers and service providers able to combine technical equipment supply with dependable after-installation support.
