## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured a bespoke chiller panel system for the Ares building. The requirement is classified as control panels (CPV 31211110), making this a goods procurement focused on equipment for chiller or building-services control. The buyer is UKRI, a central government public authority, based in Swindon, Wiltshire. The selected supplier, System Five Services Ltd, is based in Wickford, Essex. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, system integrators and specialist building-services suppliers able to design, supply and support bespoke control-panel equipment for a public-sector building environment. It is less relevant to general electrical contractors without control-panel or chiller-system capability, or suppliers whose offer is limited to standard off-the-shelf panels.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to System Five Services Ltd through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £83,310.99 excluding VAT and £99,973.19 including VAT. There was one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The purchasing decision therefore concerned a single bespoke chiller panel system for UKRI’s Ares building, rather than a competitive multi-supplier framework or a procurement divided across several awards. The recorded outcome identifies System Five Services Ltd as the supplier selected for the requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from UKRI for specialist, bespoke control-panel equipment supporting a chiller system in a public-sector building. Competitors seeking similar UKRI work would need credible capability to understand a building’s chiller-control requirements, develop or supply a tailored panel system, and deliver equipment suitable for integration into the relevant building-services environment. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an organisation able to take responsibility for the full goods requirement at this scale. Businesses with established control-panel design and manufacturing capability, relevant chiller or HVAC controls experience, and the capacity to deliver bespoke equipment for central-government facilities would be the closest market comparators when UKRI next assesses a similar need.
