## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured the installation of 12 thermal trips so that a Silixa heat pulse unit can run overnight without risk of overheating. This is a specialist laboratory and precision-equipment requirement, combining the supply of thermal-trip equipment with installation and associated technical work. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement relates to the safe operation of a heat pulse unit and is therefore relevant to businesses supplying, integrating or installing temperature-protection equipment for laboratory, energy-technology or other precision applications. The selected supplier, En-Tech (Energy Technologies) Ltd T, is recorded as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to En-Tech (Energy Technologies) Ltd T under a single lot. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition because the buyer stated that there was no competition for technical reasons and only one particular supplier could provide the required goods, services or works. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September to 21 December 2026. Its value is £16,794.96 excluding VAT, or £20,153.95 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, with the technical-availability rationale determining the outcome.

For suppliers assessing future demand from UK Research and Innovation, this procurement indicates a requirement for practical thermal-protection work around specialist heat-pulse equipment. A credible competitor would need to understand thermal trips, overheating risks and the safe overnight operation of Silixa heat pulse units, with the technical ability to supply and install twelve compatible devices. Relevant experience in laboratory, optical, precision or energy-technology environments would help demonstrate that the equipment can be integrated without disrupting specialist operations. The incumbent was an SME and was selected because the buyer identified a technical lack of competition, so future credibility would depend on proving product compatibility, specialist knowledge and the ability to deliver installation as well as equipment.
