## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has completed a procurement process to upgrade the existing Trox Specialist Laboratory HVAC control system with the latest hardware and software technology. This contract, identified as UKRI-4317, falls under the category of mechanical engineering installation works. The procurement was carried out via a limited method due to the specialised and proprietary nature of the existing infrastructure, which is maintained by Trox. The project is located in Cambridgeshire, with an award amount of £500,000. The contract was signed on 2nd September 2024, and Trox was named as the supplier due to the technical complexities and lack of competition for these specific technical services.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in mechanical engineering and HVAC systems, particularly those experienced with proprietary and technical solutions. Businesses equipped to handle complex technical integrations and upgrades, especially those with background knowledge of Trox systems, stand a strong chance of competing for future tenders of this nature. The procurement highlights the importance of specialised knowledge and the ability to provide seamless, compatible upgrades, making it ideal for SMEs operating in the field of high-tech engineering solutions.

### Procurement Information

UKRI needs to upgrade the existing Trox infrastructure (at the LMB)with the latest technology. Since the infrastructure is already built and maintained by Trox, it is technically complex and disproportionately expensive to replace it with another system. Trox are the sole provider of the identified requirement due to the proprietary nature of the existing infrastructure, especially in specialist labs. Using Trox directly avoids the risk of technical incompatibilities and ensures continuity in the technology.
