The procurement process followed a direct award method due to the urgent need to replace critically unsafe electrical wiring, which posed immediate life and building safety risks. The contract was awarded to LIME M&E LTD, with the implementation completed by 31st March 2026. The procurement process was driven by an urgent necessity, and the project involved electrical wiring and fitting work in the industry category of works. This contract presented substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the electrical engineering and construction industries, capable of handling urgent safety-driven projects. LIME M&E LTD, a large-scale enterprise based in Scotland, secured the contract, underscoring the potential for other businesses with specialised capabilities and rapid mobilisation capabilities to thrive in similar procurement contexts. Companies offering comprehensive solutions in building safety and compliance, especially those with the agility to respond to direct award opportunities, would find similar tenders valuable for growth. ## Notice The Villas Building is currently unoccupied due to an unsafe electrical wiring condition, which poses a serious risk to life and building safety. As a precaution, the building's power supply has been fully isolated, and over 25 staff have been decanted to temporary accommodation elsewhere on site. A full design for a new power, data, and lighting installation has been completed. Architectural and mechanical consultants have been engaged to ensure the new design aligns with actions identified in the building's Fire Risk Assessment and Fire Strategy. ### Procurement Information The building was found to have critically unsafe electrical wiring, creating an immediate risk to life and building safety. Power has been fully isolated and over 25 staff have been decanted to temporary accommodation. Due to the urgent need to make the building safe and operational, a competitive process could not be run without causing unacceptable delay and risk. A direct award was therefore made to address this unforeseen and extreme urgency. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055982-2026 | | Notice type | UK11 - Contract Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2026 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £180,663 | | Contracts value | £180,663 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Terminated | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION (UKRI) | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | SWINDON, WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LIME M&E | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45311000 - Electrical wiring and fitting work ## Release History - 15 Jun 2026 at 08:11 - ContractTermination - UK11 - Contract Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055982-2026 - 19 Jan 2026 at 09:12 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004174-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 14:08 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000337-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 14:03 - Award - UK5 - Transparency Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000330-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055982-2026 15th June 2026 - Contract termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004174-2026 19th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000337-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000330-2026 5th January 2026 - Transparency notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://lime-me.com/#contact - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.ukri.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
