## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured nine air handling units with humidification under its UKRI-5450 framework. This is a goods requirement for specialist ventilation and air-conditioning equipment, including humidification capability. The procurement was for UKRI, a central government research organisation, with delivery associated with UKRI’s requirements in the United Kingdom. The equipment falls within the business category of heat-exchange, air-conditioning, refrigeration and filtering machinery. The requirement was organised as a single lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Scanbur, is based in Denmark and specialises in this type of equipment. Businesses supplying air handling systems, laboratory or specialist research-facility ventilation equipment, and associated humidification units would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award from the single-supplier UKRI-5450 framework. UKRI stated that one bid was received, providing the rationale for the direct award. Scanbur was selected for the single lot at an awarded value of £256,347 including applicable taxes. The recorded contract period runs from 5 September 2026 to 6 September 2026. The procurement used a single-lot structure, with the requirement evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than a new competitive tender. The award is recorded as pending, with contract signature scheduled for 4 September 2026. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. The award covers the nine air handling units with humidification as a single goods requirement.

For a supplier assessing future UKRI demand, this award indicates a requirement for a substantial batch of specialist air handling units with integrated humidification, bought through an established framework route. A credible competitor would need to supply compliant commercial or specialist ventilation equipment at comparable scale, understand air-conditioning and heat-exchange systems, and deliver equipment suitable for a public-sector research environment. Capability in humidification is central to the requirement rather than an optional peripheral service. The opportunity also shows that UKRI may use a single-supplier framework for this type of purchase, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need either a place on the relevant framework or access through an eligible framework partner. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable for the requirement.
