## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured the supply, installation and commissioning of a Daikin R32 VRV 5 air-conditioning system for its ESG Workshop. The requirement combines equipment supply with installation and commissioning work, providing climate control for the workshop. It is a specialist HVAC installation project, covering both the air-conditioning system and the work needed to put it into service. The procurement has one lot. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. UKRI is the buying organisation. This is a focused, single-site requirement for a workshop rather than a general building-services programme, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide the specified Daikin system and carry out its installation and commissioning as an integrated package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following below-threshold limited competition. GMA Air Conditioning Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its stated value is £112,412 excluding VAT (£134,894.40 including VAT). The award covers one lot and the award is active; the contract is also recorded as active. The procurement data does not state a separate award date or describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis used to select the supplier cannot be set out more precisely. The process was limited rather than open competition, and the contract concerns delivery of the system and its installation and commissioning for UKRI’s ESG Workshop.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award demonstrates UKRI’s demand for a complete, specified VRV air-conditioning installation for a workshop: equipment supply, installation and commissioning were procured together. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability to supply the Daikin R32 VRV 5 system and deliver the associated HVAC installation and commissioning, rather than offering equipment alone or unrelated building services. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a specialist small business delivered this single-lot project; the procurement does not establish a requirement for large-scale delivery capacity. The route was limited competition below the relevant threshold, so suppliers serving UKRI should be prepared to compete through a restricted competitive process and to present relevant technical experience in the specified system and integrated installation work.
