## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured services for electrical upgrades to its central buildings in Swindon, under the UKRI reference 3652. The requirement covers consultative engineering and construction services, with the practical focus on upgrading electrical systems in central buildings. It was a direct award call-off against an existing framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The buyer was UK Research and Innovation, with procurement managed through its NERC Procurement function. The procurement was categorised as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The delivery location is associated with UKRI’s Polaris House site on North Star Avenue in Swindon, in the South East of England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited on 7 August 2026. The awarded value is £60,100. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The published requirement described a direct award call-off against the framework, so suppliers were selected through the framework route rather than assessed through a new open tender. The available evaluation information establishes the framework call-off method but does not set out separate price, quality or other award weightings for this requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for electrical engineering and building-services contractors tracking UKRI’s estates requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in electrical upgrades to occupied or operational central buildings, together with consultative engineering and construction expertise. Experience delivering work through public-sector framework agreements would be important, since this requirement was placed as a framework call-off and the selected supplier was AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited. Suppliers should also be able to undertake a focused building-upgrade project at the scale represented by this award, coordinate engineering and construction activity, and demonstrate reliable delivery for a research organisation’s facilities. The procurement’s stated SME suitability indicates that suitably capable smaller firms may be relevant competitors.
