## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought replacement of the sequence controller for its ground-source heat pump. The requirement is for heat-pump control equipment, rather than a wider heat-pump installation or general building-services contract. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The equipment was for delivery in the United Kingdom; no specific delivery town or site is identified in the award information. The procurement was treated as a single lot and covered goods. The stated scope is limited to replacing the existing controller, so suppliers whose work centres on compatible control systems, heat-pump sequencing and equipment replacement are the closest fit. The requirement arose within UKRI’s central-government research organisation, although the particular facility served by the heat pump is not identified.

The procurement is complete: the contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and awarded to Climatrol Limited. The contract is active and runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £18,165 excluding VAT (£21,798 including VAT). UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, on the stated ground that technical reasons meant only one supplier could provide the required goods, services or works. The award covers one lot for replacement of the ground-source heat-pump sequence controller. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded; the stated basis for proceeding without competition was the claimed technical exclusivity of supply.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award shows demand for replacement control equipment for a ground-source heat pump, rather than a broad heating-system project. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its controller can work with the relevant heat-pump system and perform the required sequencing reliably, alongside the technical ability to replace and commission the existing control unit. Because UKRI’s stated reason for this award was that technical considerations left only one supplier able to meet the need, evidence of compatibility, specialist product knowledge and support for the installed system would be particularly important in a future competition. This was a small, single-lot goods requirement, suggesting a focused equipment replacement rather than a large multi-site programme. The award names Climatrol Limited as the selected supplier.
