To provide a data analysis and monitoring system as part of the Energy Superhub Oxford project.

To award a contract to Kek Tech Limited for the completion of data analysis and data monitoring system provision as part of the Energy Superhub Oxford data evaluation project.  The value of the contract is £20,000.

The initial works were completed by contractor Gabriel Yoong, with assistance from the founder of Kek Tech. Gabriel Yoong is no longer able to complete the project. Due to the complexity and unique intricacies of the project it is hugely time and cost effective for Kek Tech Limited, which is already familiar with the project, to complete the remainder of the work. The contractor rates provided are very competitive, and the project must be completed in order to comply with Innovate funding.

The option to choose not to deliver the programme was available, but was effectively ruled out as this would not comply with Innovate funding requirements.  Additionally, several months’ work had already been completed.

Decision taken by Mish Tullar, Head of Corporate Strategy.
