## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured nine air handling units with humidification for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for the supply of heat-exchange and air-conditioning equipment incorporating humidification, rather than installation, construction or an ongoing service. It sits within UKRI’s UKRI-5450 framework agreement and is classified as a goods procurement. The single requirement was awarded as one lot. This is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of air handling units and associated humidification equipment, particularly businesses able to support a public-sector research organisation’s equipment supply requirements across the UK. The selected supplier was Scanbur, a Danish small and medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, non-competitive framework call-off. UKRI awarded the contract to Scanbur on 8 September 2026 for £256,347 excluding and including stated tax treatment, in GBP. The award record gives a contract period from 19 to 30 September 2026, with signature due by 18 September 2026. The associated contract record says it was signed on 16 February 2026, ran from 17 February to 31 March 2026, and was terminated as completed on 31 March 2026. The contract’s final value was £256,347. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. Evaluation details are limited to the framework award route; the call-off was not competitive.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates a defined UKRI demand for specialist air handling units with humidification, bought through an established framework route rather than an open competition. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or distribute this type of air-conditioning and heat-exchange equipment, provide integrated humidification, and have the capacity and supply-chain arrangements to deliver nine units for a central-government research organisation. Experience of public-sector framework agreements would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to meet formal call-off requirements and support UK delivery. The successful supplier’s SME status also indicates that this scale of specialist equipment supply can be served by a focused specialist business, not only a large corporate.
