Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured the One Government Value Agreement for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The requirement covers the supply of software packages and information systems, together with information technology strategic review and planning services. It is categorised primarily as goods, with associated professional services. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s operations in Swindon, England. The arrangement is intended to support government value and information technology planning rather than a standalone software supply alone, so relevant businesses may include software providers, information systems specialists and technology strategy consultancies able to deliver an integrated agreement for a public-sector organisation.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, following a longlist and shortlist exercise. Strategic Blue Services Limited was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for £404,891.75 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 11:00. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded award is active, with Strategic Blue Services Limited as the selected supplier.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that UKRI-related public-sector demand exists for combined information systems and technology strategy support. A credible future competitor would need to provide software or information-system capability alongside strategic review and planning expertise, rather than offering only general consultancy or an isolated product. The route to market is also clear: the buyer used a selective call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, with a longlist and shortlist exercise before award. Businesses seeking comparable work should therefore consider the framework route, maintain a strong public-sector technology proposition and demonstrate the capacity to support a substantial, multi-year government agreement. The procurement’s SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist suppliers can be relevant participants.
