As far as I know, the Ultimaker Original is no longer supported by Ultimaker, and the heated bed upgrade kits are no longer produced.
The upgrade from an Ultimaker Original with plexiglass bed to one with a heated bed was quite substantial; the whole z-stage was replaced, and you got a second PSU. Fortunately the Ultimaker Original was fully open source, so all specifications of the upgrade kit are available here:
I did a quick search on aliexpress to see if a chinese company may have taken the open source plans and made a kit out of it, but no dice. You could try to source all the different parts yourself, but frankly it may be cheaper and certainly less work to get a newer printer that comes with a heated bed.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
