UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

MHRA procured technical assurance services for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. The requirement is centred on specialist IT consulting and support for these industrial control technologies, covering the technical assurance of systems used by the agency. MHRA is the buying organisation and is based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to businesses that advise on, review, support or assure SCADA and PLC environments. It may also suit providers combining industrial automation expertise with software, systems and technical support capability.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded directly below threshold without competition. Constans Automation Limited was selected for the sole lot. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, with an award value of £14,400 excluding VAT and £17,280 including VAT. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The contract is active. The procurement used a direct award route rather than an open or selective competition. The published information does not set out separate quality, price or technical evaluation weightings; the outcome is therefore a direct appointment rather than a competitively scored award. The named supplier is a London-based SME.

This procurement is commercially relevant to specialist automation and industrial control consultancies that provide SCADA and PLC technical assurance, system reviews, configuration advice, software support or related IT consulting. A credible competitor for comparable MHRA work would need to understand both control-system technology and the assurance expectations of a regulated public-sector organisation. The requirement points to a focused technical service that can be delivered by a specialist SME rather than a large generalist contractor. Suppliers with demonstrable experience assessing SCADA and PLC environments, identifying technical risks, supporting reliable operation and communicating findings clearly to a public authority would be well placed when this buyer next requires similar expertise.
