Tender description

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) intends to procure a contract for the delivery of Electrical Services across its estate in Oxfordshire. The purpose of this procurement opportunity is to appoint a specialist supplier to provide Electrical Projects, Strip Out, Installation, Repairs, Asset Replacement, Materials & Associated Services via ‘call off’ task orders over the contracted period. The contract will principally cover the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire and The Cosener’s House in Abingdon, with provision to include other UKRI-managed sites. The successful supplier will be expected to work safely alongside UKRI-STFC’s in-house team within operational scientific environments, delivering high-quality services, asset reliability and value for money. The anticipated contract term is three years, with an option to extend for a further year (3+1 years).

About the buyer

UK Research & Innovation is the non-departmental public body that brings together the seven research councils, Research England and Innovate UK, and runs its own supplier portal. Suppliers register and respond to e-tenders on that portal, an Atamis system. Opportunities are also advertised on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Framework agreements let by the body, including one for office furniture, are published on Find a Tender. Tenders from the national laboratories run by the Science and Technology Facilities Council appear on the same portal. The UK Industrial Liaison Office gives UK companies advance notice of tenders from international facilities such as CERN and ESO.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of UK Research & Innovation's contract awards have been in business services, laboratory and precision equipment and repair and maintenance.
