## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), located in London, has concluded the procurement process for the temporary hire of cold rooms due to unexpected subsidence at their site. The procurement falls under the industry category of commercial refrigerating equipment and is designated for delivery in the UKH23 region. As an urgent matter, the procurement method utilized was direct award under the Section 41 provision for special cases, addressing extreme and unavoidable urgency which precluded competitive tendering. The awards stage has been completed, with the contract commencing on 16th February 2026 and concluding on 16th February 2027.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in refrigeration and related equipment. With its limited competition approach, companies with the capability to respond to urgent supply needs may find such contracts advantageous for business growth. Large-scale suppliers like ICS Cool Energy Limited, which has been awarded the contract, are prime candidates, particularly those capable of delivering goods efficiently within the specified timeframes. The contract valued at £60,000, albeit below threshold, represents a reliable source of revenue over its duration and could cater to other public authority needs requiring swift responses to unforeseen circumstances.
