## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured completion works for the ISIS Building R9 and R25 buildings. The requirement covers construction and building installation work, including mechanical and electrical installation, refurbishment, repair and maintenance services. The remaining scope includes completing existing installations, testing, witnessing, commissioning and certification, together with associated works needed to finish the overall project. The work concerns the buildings and installations forming part of the ISIS project. It is classified primarily as services, although the scope includes substantial construction and installation activity. The procurement was divided into one lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. UKRI is a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 September 2026 through a direct award to Pyramid Services South Ltd. The award value is £409,908 excluding VAT, or £491,889.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. A signature was scheduled by 24 September 2026, following a standstill period ending on 23 September 2026. UKRI justified the direct award because Pyramid Services South had completed about 80% of the mechanical and electrical installations, and changing contractor would create technical-interface, compatibility, testing, certification, cost, programme and safety risks. The award basis was a single supplier technical reason. The awarded supplier is Pyramid Services South Ltd.

This procurement indicates demand for contractors able to take responsibility for partially completed, technically complex building-services installations rather than only delivering a new installation from the outset. A credible competitor for comparable UKRI work would need strong mechanical and electrical installation capability, with the capacity to inspect existing work, complete outstanding construction, validate installations and manage testing, witnessing, commissioning and certification. Experience of coordinating construction activities across multiple technical interfaces would be important, as would robust health and safety management during an active construction phase. The requirement also favours suppliers able to assume responsibility for another contractor’s work, control duplication and compatibility risks, and maintain programme continuity. Firms with integrated building-services, refurbishment, repair and maintenance capability are therefore better placed than narrowly specialised contractors.

UKRI-6316 Completion of works ISIS Building R9 and R25 Buildings

### Procurement Information

Pyramid Services South Ltd has completed approximately 80% of the Mechanical and Electrical installations associated with the project. The remaining works include completion, testing, witnessing, commissioning and certification of the existing installations, together with associated works required to complete the overall project. Appointment of an alternative contractor would require a new supplier to inspect, validate and assume responsibility for complex installations undertaken by another contractor, creating potential compatibility and technical risks, duplication of testing and certification, additional costs and programme delays. Retaining Pyramid also provides continuity in the management and coordination of the remaining construction works and supports the effective management of health and safety responsibilities throughout the construction phase. The direct award is therefore considered necessary to maintain continuity, manage technical interfaces and ensure the safe and coordinated completion of the works.
