## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has recently awarded a three-year contract titled "FM20071 - Environmental Monitoring System Maintenance & Support Contract" to Acquisition Systems Ltd, which is engaged in the environmental monitoring services industry. This procurement process followed a negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, due to the necessity for maintaining an existing system designed by Acquisition Systems Ltd. The contract, valued at £190,963, commenced on 1st May 2020 and will conclude on 30th April 2023. The award notice for this contract was published on 11th May 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring systems and maintenance services. Firms that possess the capability to provide ongoing support and calibration services, particularly those with experience working on bespoke or specific systems like the one developed by Acquisition Systems Ltd, would be well-suited to compete if similar contracts arise. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to consider this market, given the procurement's focus on supporting smaller suppliers within its suitability criteria.

## Notice

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) had a requirement for an Environmental Monitoring System maintenance and support contract. The contract is in place for a 3 year period. The current Environmental Monitoring System was designed and developed by Acquisition Systems Ltd therefore any maintenance or software updates necessary to maintain the system need to be carried out by the same supplier. No other supplier can communicate and carry out the calibration of the system. As a result Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) was followed and the Contracting Authority awarded a Contract by negotiated procedure without prior publication.
