## Summary

The Pirbright Institute, a public authority in the sub-central government category, recently completed a procurement process for the installation of a Temporary Centralised Battery System (CBS) for emergency lighting in the Brooksby Building. Located in Woking, United Kingdom, this procurement was necessitated by a fire in the battery room, affecting the building's emergency lighting system. The contract, awarded to ABB Limited, relates to the procurement of goods, specifically focusing on battery packs and emergency lighting equipment. Initiated as a limited competition due to its below-threshold nature, the process commenced with a signing date on 3rd August 2026 and concluded with the completion date of 12th October 2026.

This tender represents a key opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical and lighting solutions to expand into the public sector, especially those capable of providing specialised equipment within limited competitions. Businesses with expertise in emergency lighting and battery systems would find this type of procurement particularly aligned with their capabilities. Contracts such as these not only provide financial growth through public sector engagement but also assist in building a reputable presence in government-associated projects, thus opening doors to more bidding opportunities in related sectors.

## Notice

Following a small fire in the battery room of the Brooksby Buildings CBS the building is now without emergency lighting which will impact the cold start of the building and a knock-on effect on testing and opening for science. Following guidance from Management and completing HAZOP we wish to purchase the equipment and house it in a temporary container which will reinstate the Emergency light provision for the building, moving all the equipment at a date agreed with our insurers.
