Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought electrical rewiring works, classified as electrical wiring and fitting work, for delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The requirement was for rewiring rather than a wider electrical services package, and the process was structured as a single lot. The published description gives no further breakdown of the buildings, circuits or specific installation tasks covered, so the requirement is best understood as a discrete electrical works contract for UKRI. The selected supplier was based in Bideford, but the delivery location is identified only at country level.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It followed a below-threshold limited competition. M & D ELECTRICAL SW LLP was awarded the single lot; the contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £18,660.50 excluding VAT (£22,392.60 including VAT). The published award information identifies the successful supplier and electrical works, but does not set out evaluation criteria or explain the basis on which bids were compared. UKRI was the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity.

For electrical contractors, this award demonstrates UKRI’s demand for a discrete rewiring project procured through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show the ability to deliver electrical wiring and fitting works safely and reliably, with sufficient labour and project capacity for a defined installation job. The contract was won by an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement was achievable by a smaller supplier. The published scope does not identify specialist accreditations, technical standards, particular building types or detailed experience requirements, so the evidence points to electrical rewiring capability rather than a more specialised service line. UKRI’s use of a limited competition is also relevant to suppliers’ ability to engage with that route.
