UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) commissioned the replacement of boilers at the SP2 and Logistics buildings for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The work is boiler installation and replacement, serving the heating needs of these BAS facilities. The delivery location is Cambridge, in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a building-services works project focused on replacing boilers rather than a general facilities-maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CPS Building Services Ltd. UKRI used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £389,302.97 excluding VAT (£467,163.56 including VAT). The procurement was handled as one lot. The published outcome identifies boiler replacement as the work but gives no further evaluation basis or participation criteria.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from UKRI, this award shows demand for specialist building-services capability to replace boilers in operational research facilities. A credible competitor would need the technical capacity to plan and deliver boiler installation work across more than one building, coordinate work within a live site and complete it within a defined delivery period. Experience with comparable boiler replacement projects and the ability to manage installation safely and reliably would be relevant. The award was made directly without competition, so it also demonstrates that this buyer has used a non-competitive route for a below-threshold requirement; suppliers should monitor UKRI’s purchasing activity to understand how similar work is sourced.
